Witnesses at the airport described the scene as “scary,” including Sedeq Arshuhtpi, who works at the airport and told Local 4 he was standing 10 feet away when the crash occurred.
“We didn’t know what to do, we don’t know what’s inside that car, there’s a lot of people around, there could be a threat so everybody was nervous, we didn’t know what was going on," he said. “The doors slowed him down a little bit, and then after he got through from the doors, he went and sped off a little bit and then the other door stopped him.”
Another witness, Nikia Hubbard, says she was going through security when the man’s vehicle “barreled through the door.”
“It was unbelievable,” she said, “there was a lady in front of us who was really upset because it was so close to us…They just drove right past us. We were just thankful, thank god that we didn’t get hit because we were that close, we could have gotten hit.
