Late Sunday night at New York’s LaGuardia Airport, an Air Canada CRJ-900 from Montreal collided with a fire truck on Runway 4, injuring multiple people and shutting down the airport. The plane, carrying 80–100 passengers, struck the truck at about 24 mph just before 11:40 p.m.
At least four were critically injured, including two Port Authority officers, and NBC News reports two pilots were killed. Audio recordings suggest air traffic controllers repeatedly ordered the truck to stop moments before impact, though it had clearance to cross.
Poor weather may have played a role. The FAA halted all LaGuardia flights, diverting at least 18 to nearby airports. Investigators continue examining what went wrong in the critical seconds leading up to the crash.
