United Flight Lands on Newark Runway, Strikes Light Pole
A United Airlines passenger jet on its final approach to Newark Liberty International Airport struck a light pole on the New Jersey Turnpike Sunday afternoon. The Boeing 767, carrying 221 passengers and 10 crew members, also made contact with a truck, though no injuries were reported among those on the aircraft. The incident caused minor damage to the plane and the truck, with the light pole subsequently hitting a Jeep. Airport operations resumed quickly after inspection, while the NTSB has launched an investigation into the occurrence.
