The landrover smashed through the front of the Sheraton.

Airport police told KGW they received reports of a woman acting strangely and hours later, she crashed her landrover into the hotel.

Police said the woman hadn’t taken her medication, possibly causing the strange behavior. They said she was not hurt in the crash.

And in another, related incident, a police officer hit a pole near the hotel, while trying to respond to the crash at the Sheratron. Investigators said the officer flipped a U-turn and narrowly avoided crashing into the fountain on the S-turn near PDX.
