MANILA (Reuters) -Several people were injured after a car crashed into the entrance of Manila’s Ninoy Aquino International Airport on Sunday, authorities confirmed.
The airport said the “vehicular accident” occurred earlier on Sunday when a vehicle crashed through the outer railing and into the walkway near the entrance of NAIA Terminal 1.
“We understand the concern this incident has caused, especially as images have circulated on social media. We urge the public not to speculate and to wait for verified updates, which will be issued as soon as they become available,” NAIA said in a statement.
Images posted by DZBB radio on social media platform X showed one person lying on the ground receiving medical attention. Glass was shattered across the entrance and the front of a black SUV was visibly damaged after hitting the airport doors.
NAIA said those who sustained injuries were being treated, and the driver of the vehicle is in police custody.
