(CNN) A North Carolina driver is accused of crashing a car through doors and windows into a terminal at Wilmington International Airport after driving onto the tarmac.
The suspect, who investigators have not identified, faces state and federal charges, the New Hanover County Sheriff’s Office said.
The white compact car broke through an airport fence shortly before 7 p.m. and was driven across the tarmac, according to a press release and photos from the sheriff’s office.
The driver was engaged by officers, then crashed the car into the terminal and was taken into custody, the sheriff’s office said.
The car, with a smashed windshield and crumpled front end, later came to rest next to a potted tree on the ivory and blue terminal floor, a photo shows.
No one in the public was injured, the airport said post on Twitter. The airport remained open Thursday night with “minimal impact to operations,” the post said.
