Five People Injured in Collision Between American Airlines Jet and Shuttle Bus at LAX

Five people were injured in a collision between an American Airlines Airbus A321 jet and a shuttle bus at Los Angeles International Airport late Friday night. According to the Los Angeles Fire Department, four people were taken to hospitals after the “low-speed collision,” which occurred around 10 p.m. The driver of the tug pulling the plane was in moderate condition and the driver and two passengers on the bus were in fair condition.

The airport said on Twitter that the jet was being towed from a gate to a parking area when it “made contact” with the shuttle bus that was transporting passengers between terminals. There was only one person on the plane, a worker, when the collision occurred.

The Federal Aviation Administration said Saturday that it is investigating the incident. The cause of the collision is still unknown.

The Los Angeles Fire Department said that the injured individuals were taken to local hospitals for treatment. No other injuries were reported.

The incident caused some delays at the airport, but operations have since returned to normal. American Airlines is working with the FAA to investigate the incident and determine the cause.
