(NewsNation) — Airports around the U.S. are seeing a recent disturbing trend of drivers finding their way onto runways.
In the last few days, there have been incidents reported at Buffalo, New York’s Buffalo Niagara International Airport and O’Hare International Airport in Chicago, Illinois.
The incident in Buffalo saw a man intentionally drive through a fence off of Genesee Street and end up in the grass near a runway, while in Chicago, a DoorDash delivery driver drove miles through a secured and restricted area.
“A lot of very bad things can happen,” said Ben Coleman, a former investigator with the National Transportation Safety Board. “Once they get in there, they really don’t know what to do.”
DoorDash said the incident at O’Hare appeared to be simply a case of a driver getting lost.
