Woman drives rental car into terminal
BOISE (AP) — A woman who was returning a rented minivan at the Boise Airport drove it through the terminal.
A “confused senior citizen,” whose name and age were not released, followed an outside “terminal access” sign Tuesday as she bumped her vehicle through a set of automatic-opening double-doors on the west end, airport spokeswoman Larissa Stouffer said.
She drove through the terminal, past the baggage claim area before coming to a stop.
“The lucky thing is she didn’t hit anything,” Stouffer said.
There was no damage to the terminal building, no one was hurt and the out-of-town woman, who departed on a flight later Tuesday morning, was not cited.
Stouffer said the airport has had plans to install barriers to block the door.
