An aircraft skidded on the runway at LaGuardia Airport and crashed into a fence as a blinding wintry mix coated the region Thursday morning, Port Authority officials and sources familiar with the situation tell NBC 4 New York.
It wasn’t clear how many people were on the Delta plane when it slid off the runway around 11 a.m., nor was it known if it was landing or taking off. There was no immediate word on injuries.
Photos posted to Twitter and other social media showed the tail of the plane dipping into the snow; it’s nose was pointed to the air.
Delta couldn’t immediately be reached for comment.
