The Florida Highway Patrol is trying to find out why a man reportedly drove through a perimeter fence at the Sarasota-Bradenton International Airport, crashing into the airport.
The crash happened around 2:50 a.m. Thursday, WFTS reported.
Police said Juan Monsivis was driving his pickup truck recklessly on a nearby interstate, and they had tried to catch up to it, but lost sight of the vehicle, according to WFTS.
The incident was caught on camera.
The driver then drove through a fence, drove on the airport’s perimeter road, crossing an air carrier ramp, then right through a cinder block wall, finally coming to a stop at a rental car company counter, the Bradenton Herald reported.
The crash also destroyed a baggage claim belt. Luckily because of the time, there were no passengers in the area, the Bradenton Herald reported.
Damage estimates are between $250,000 and $1 million, the Herald reported.
Monsivis was taken to an area hospital with serious injuries and is in a medically induced coma.
Police said they are not sure if he had a medical emergency before the crash, or if it was something else.
They did rule out terrorism, the Herald reported.
