Two people were killed in a collision between Air Canada Flight 8646 and a Port Authority Aircraft Rescue and Firefighting (AARF) vehicle at LaGuardia International Airport late Sunday night.
Port Authority Executive Director Kathryn Garcia confirmed that the two fatalities were the aircraft’s pilots.
Forty one people were transferred to local hospitals, including the two officers on board the AARF vehicle, Garcia said at a press conference early Monday morning.
Nine people remain hospitalized with injuries considered “serious.”
All 72 passengers aboard the aircraft have been accounted for, Garcia said.
The aircraft — a Jazz Aviation flight operating on behalf of Air Canada Express — had been cleared to land.
The emergency vehicle had also received clearance from the control center to cross the runway to respond to a separate incident.
Moments before the crash, an air controller could be heard on radio transmission trying to stop the emergency vehicle from continuing after clearance was given.
The National Transportation Safety Board has not yet confirmed the speed of the aircraft upon collision but is currently on site conducting an investigation.
The New York Police Department announced all streets and highway exits into the airport would be closed until further notice.
Officials also said the airport would be closed until at least 2 p.m.
Monday.
This is a developing story.
