Drunk minor evades police and crashes car into plane and tractor at Portsmouth Airport

A frightening scene unfolded in New Hampshire, USA, when a drunk teenager drove a vehicle into Portsmouth International Airport, causing significant damage.

Police said the episode began on Durham Road as a patrol car signaled a black 2008 Ford Mustang to stop. At the wheel was 17-year-old Wyatt Seeley of Rochester, who instead of stopping, accelerated and fled.

According to official reports, the car was traveling with its headlights off toward the airport runways. After breaching the area’s fence, the Mustang ended up in the aircraft parking area.

Once inside the perimeter, the young man struck a Kubota tractor and a parked light aircraft in succession. Fortunately, the aircraft was empty at the time, and there were no fatalities or injuries.

The vehicle was immobilized after the series of crashes, allowing law enforcement to take the minor driver into custody. He was then transported to a local hospital for health checks, while investigators strongly suspect he had consumed alcohol.

Seeley now faces several criminal charges, including driving under the influence of alcohol, disobeying officers’ orders, reckless operation resulting in damage, and leaving the scene of an accident without fulfilling legal obligations.

The teenager will appear before Portsmouth District Court on Tuesday, September 9, 2026.
