TAMPA, Fla. — Multiple passengers onboard a United Airlines flight on its way to Tampa were hurt Thursday night, officials with Tampa International Airport explain.
The injuries were reportedly from turbulence while United Airlines flight 600 was in the air. The plane was heading to Tampa from Newark, New Jersey.
The passengers were seen by paramedics at the airport after the plane landed just before midnight, according to TPA officials. Ultimately, two passengers and one flight attendant were taken to a local hospital for evaluation.
"United flight 600 encountered unexpected turbulence while en route to Tampa," United Airlines said in a statement to 10 Tampa Bay. "We’re grateful to our crew for their efforts to ensure the safety of our employees and customers."
