Six hurt in United Flight turbulence from LAX-ORD, diversion to DEN
Six people were taken to local hospitals after a United Airlines flight from Los Angeles to Chicago hit severe turbulence early this morning and was diverted to Denver.
Several of the people injured were members of the flight crew, so the plane was delayed while another crew took over the flight, Denver International Airport spokesman Chuck Cannon said.
Cannon described the injuries as “fairly minor,” such as complaints about back pain.
The plane landed at DIA around 3 a.m., and paramedics were called to check on passengers, he said.
Note some articles say 10 were injured.
