Two planes collided at New York's LaGuardia Airport on Wednesday, injuring at least one person in what the authorities described as a "low-speed collision."
What do we know so far?
The collision between two Delta Air Lines regional jets, carrying a total of 93 passengers and crew staff, occurred at 9:58 pm (0158 GMT on Thursday) as one was landing and the other about to take off, according to a statement from the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey.
One person suffered "non-life threatening injuries," and was taken to the hospital, the statement added. One flight attendant also suffered minor injuries.
Delta said it would "work with all relevant authorities to review" safety measures following what it described as "a low-speed collision during taxi."
The operations at the airport were not affected by the collision, according to Delta.
The Delta Connection aircraft involved in the collision is operated by Endeavor Air.
