Chaos at Luton Airport as Vehicle Plunges from Car Park
Car Falls from 2nd Floor – One Seriously Hurt
A dramatic incident rocked Luton Airport earlier today when a car reportedly fell from the second floor of a multistorey car park. Emergency services rushed to the scene just before 11am after reports of a single vehicle crash within the airport’s parking facilities.
Eyewitnesses described a scene bristling with police, ambulance, and fire crews. One witness told Metro police confirmed the car drove off the second floor, crashing down below. Social media photos showed emergency tape cordoning off the area and traffic diversions around both multi-storey car parks.
Serious Injuries Confirmed
Bedfordshire Police said:
“Emergency services were called shortly before 11am to an incident involving a single vehicle at a multistorey car park at London Luton Airport. One person has been taken to hospital with injuries which are thought to be serious.”
A 1 Airport spokesperson confirmed:
“Arriving vehicles are being redirected to the airport’s mid-stay car park until further notice. There is no disruption to wider airport operations.”
Travel Disruption and Advice
- Mid-stay 1 car park now handling arrivals.
- No flight delays have been reported.
- Traffic diversions remain in place near the terminal.
The airport’s check-in and departures continue as normal, but passengers are urged to allow extra time for parking and drop-offs due to ongoing diversions.
Investigation Underway
Authorities have yet to confirm the cause of the crash or whether it was accidental or deliberate. A full forensic investigation is in progress, with updates expected as more information emerges.
