CLAYTON COUNTY, Ga. — A Delta flight was deboarded after an ambulance clipped the wing of the plane, according to the Federal Aviation Administration.
WSB-TV reported that more than 100 passengers were moved to another plane at the Hartsfield–Jackson Atlanta International Airport after an Atlanta Fire and Rescue ambulance clipped the wing of the plane as it was about to push off.
The fire department said crews were responding to a call and were trying to get close to the gate to help someone.
“There were some ground clearance issues as far as looking up to see where he could back out at and he just misjudged,” Sgt. Cortez Stafford said.
Delta said the passengers were delayed about an hour and a half.
Sgt. Stafford said an investigation will take place to make sure crews are following the protocol for driving near planes.
