Southwest Airlines Jet Experiences Taxiway Excursion
Southwest Airlines Jet Experiences Taxiway Excursion. A Southwest Airlines jet reportedly slid off the taxiway at Nashville International Airport in Tennessee Tuesday, injuring at least three people.
The plane, which Southwest said was carrying 133 passengers and five crew members, apparently crashed during its landing around 5:40 p.m., according to news reports. It skidded off the tarmac and into a ditch. The plane “exited the taxiway shortly after arriving into Nashville, as the airplane was approaching the gate,” Southwest said in a statement.
The Tennessean reported that a Nashville fire department spokesman said two people had minor injuries and a third sought treatment for chest pains.
The airliner had taken off from Houston, according to TV station WSMV.
