Updated 7:41 AM ET, Fri March 23, 2018

An unauthorized vehicle drove onto Travis Air Force Base in Northern California, crashed and erupted into flames, killing the driver, authorities said.

There were no other fatalities in the security breach Wednesday night, the base said in a statement. It did not identify the driver, but said the car "gained unauthorized access" through the main gate.

"Travis AFB security forces immediately responded," the statement said. "Additionally, the base's explosive ordnance disposal team, office of special investigations and other responders were on scene."  ...   CNN

Yeah this is my husband's base. He was unrecognizable after the crash and had possible explosives in the car. A "suspicious" package was mailed to the base last week too.
