Police: Two Cars Collided Outside Main Terminal
The Associated Press


GLASGOW, Scotland -- Witnesses said a motorist tried to ram a burning sport
utility vehicle into the main terminal at Glasgow airport.

The BBC said witnesses described the vehicle driving at full speed toward
the building as flames poured from the car.

The airport was reportedly evacuated and all flights suspended.

One witness told SKY News that the car was stopped by security barriers and
police tackled a man who fled from the car. Television footage showed flames
and huge plumes of black smoke rising from the building.

Another witness said the vehicle was completely on fire and then exploded at
the terminal entrance. The witness told BBC it was not a big explosion.

A police spokeswoman had earlier said that two cars had crashed outside the
airport. Police, however, said they could not confirm the latest reports.
