An Air Canada aircraft collided with a ground vehicle at LaGuardia Airport in New York City, resulting in major damage to the front of the aircraft.<\/p>\n

The Air Canada Express flight, a CRJ-900 aircraft operated by Jazz Aviation, struck a rescue and firefighting vehicle that was responding to a separate incident, a New York City port authority spokesperson told Business Insider in a statement early Monday morning.<\/p>\n

Jazz Aviation said in a statement on its website that the plane was carrying 72 passengers and 4 crew members. The statement did not provide information about the number of injuries or casualties.<\/p>\n

The flight left Montreal around 10:35 p.m. E.T., and touched down at LaGuardia at 11:37 p.m., per data from flight tracking website Flightradar24.<\/p>\n

“The airport is currently closed to facilitate the response and allow for a thorough investigation,” the port authority spokesperson said in the statement.<\/p>\n

Photos on social media showed an Air Canada plane lying tilted on the ground, with its nose severely damaged.<\/p>\n

An air traffic control recording from LiveATC.net appeared to capture the moments before the collision. In the recording, a controller urgently instructs a vehicle to stop moving. A few minutes later, the controller announces there has been an incident on the airfield.<\/p>\n

The Federal Aviation Administration has issued a ground stop notice for all planes at LaGuardia Airport, per a notice by the agency.<\/p>\n

In response to a request for comment, the New York City Fire Department spokesperson said the department had responded to a call at 11:38 p.m., about an incident involving a plane and a vehicle on the runway.<\/p>\n

LaGuardia is one of the three major commercial airports serving New York. It said in an X post earlier on Sunday that “weather conditions have caused LGA Airport flight disruptions,” and advised passengers to “check with your airline to determine the status of your flight.”<\/p>\n
