Parma Jeep Driver Rips Through NASA Gate, Winds Up In Hospital And Cuffs

A 23-year-old Parma woman is facing serious trouble after allegedly steering a Jeep Wrangler straight through a closed gate at NASA’s Glenn Research Center in Brook Park last Tuesday, slamming into a metal fence and triggering a swift security and police response. She was treated by paramedics at the scene, taken to a hospital, and later arrested.

According to Cleveland.com, security guards and video show the Jeep heading northbound through the center’s controlled-access gate before smashing into the metal fence. The driver then ran from guards. Officers later found the woman lying on a stretcher, and paramedics transported her to Cleveland Clinic Fairview Hospital in Cleveland, where she received medical treatment and a psychological evaluation, the report said.
