"Passengers were bused back to Terminal C and provided with food and beverages. Customers received hotel rooms and meals and flights were rebooked on Thursday. Initial information indicates one minor reported injury to an Endeavor Flight attendant who was treated by EMT. The injury was non-life-threatening, and the patient was transported to an area hospital as a precaution, according to the Port Authority."
Two Delta Connection flights operated by Endeavor Air made contact while taxiing at LaGuardia Airport, resulting in a low-speed collision between two CRJ-900 aircraft. Flight 5155, departing for Roanoke with 28 passengers and four crew, struck the fuselage of arriving Flight 5047 from Charlotte, which had 57 passengers and four crew. The contact occurred at the intersection of Taxiways M and A after controllers instructed Flight 5155 to hold short and yield. One Endeavor flight attendant sustained a minor, non-life-threatening injury and was treated by EMTs and transported to a hospital. Passengers were bused to Terminal C, given food, hotel rooms, and rebooked flights. FAA, Port Authority, NTSB, and Endeavor are reviewing the incident.
