Chaos erupted at Buffalo Niagara International Airport when a heavily intoxicated passenger decided to take an unauthorised joyride in an airport golf cart, crashing into multiple vehicles before being stopped by authorities.
Wild Airport Escapade
The incident unfolded late in the evening when the inebriated man, whose identity has not yet been released, commandeered an unattended golf cart typically used by airport staff. Witnesses reported seeing the man driving erratically through the terminal, narrowly avoiding pedestrians.
Multiple Collisions Before Capture
According to airport officials, the suspect collided with at least two parked vehicles and a baggage cart before security personnel and police intervened. The rogue joyride caused minor damage but no serious injuries.
"It was like something out of a bad comedy film," one stunned traveler told reporters. "He was swerving all over the place, laughing like it was some kind of game."
Legal Consequences
The suspect now faces multiple charges including:
- Grand larceny
- Criminal mischief
- Driving while intoxicated
- Reckless endangerment
Airport authorities have reminded passengers that while travel can be stressful, such dangerous behavior won't be tolerated. "We're just thankful no one was seriously hurt," an airport spokesperson commented.
