Flights at Lyon airport were halted on Monday when a driver being chased by the police smashed through a terminal building and entered the runway.
Images show the vehicle hurtling over rough terrain with police in hot pursuit, before eventually coming to a stop on the runway. The driver tries to run away, but is quickly tackled by officers and arrested.
The driver’s identity and his motives have not been revealed and remain unclear.
Saint-Exupery international airport later tweeted that flights would be paused until further notice.
