Authorities said the man was “very disoriented.”
The man reportedly drove the wrong way down the street before going around cement barriers and through Door 4.
It happened just after 9:30 a.m. Friday, May 29, prompting a rapid response from airport police, fire, TSA and the FBI. The driver was taken into custody.
Police said there were no weapons or explosives found and that there was no evidence that the driver intended to hurt anyone.
The only injury was a woman who suffered minor injuries while avoiding the vehicle, but she refused medical treatment and made her flight.
The crash disrupted airport operations, which returned to normal by 11 a.m.
The driver, only identified as a 67-year-old man, reportedly told authorities that he was there to meet Tom Cruise and save his dad.
The Hollywood actor’s dad died in 1984.
Someone who reportedly went through a security checkpoint while fleeing was briefly detained and released without a citation.
The investigation is ongoing.
