A rare and startling incident unfolded at New Jersey’s Newark Liberty International Airport on Wednesday, when a United Airlines commercial jet arriving from international waters made contact with a ground vehicle during its landing sequence. The aircraft in question, Flight 164, had been traveling nonstop from Venice, Italy’s Marco Polo Airport, carrying a total of 231 passengers and 10 crew members on board. According to initial reports from the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, which oversees operations at Newark Airport, the plane completed its landing successfully and came to a full stop without incident beyond the collision with the lorry. No injuries have been recorded among anyone aboard the commercial jet, and all passengers were able to disembark via the aircraft’s gate without assistance once the situation was secured. The only harm reported from the incident was sustained by the lorry driver, who was transported to a nearby medical facility for treatment of minor, non-life-threatening injuries. Airport authorities have launched a routine investigation into the incident to determine what caused the vehicle to be in the incorrect area of the airfield at the time of the landing, and operations at the airport have since returned to their regular schedule with only minor delays for affected flights. United Airlines has also issued a brief statement confirming the incident and noting that they are cooperating fully with local authorities to review the sequence of events.
