Empty plane damaged after rolling into ground equipment
An
empty commercial airplane suffered damage after it rolled into some
ground equipment at the Des Moines International Airport on Sunday,
officials said.
The Allegiant airplane was in the process of
being moved when the collision occurred Sunday, said Craig Stephens, Des
Moines International Airport operations supervisor.
The MD-83
plane had an issue with its brakes, and began to roll after being
disconnected from its tug, said Allegiant spokesperson Micah Lillard.
The plane crashed into ground equipment, which caused damage to its left wing. No injuries were reported in the incident.
Officials are still investigating the cause of the brakes issue, Lillard said.
The damaged plane is still on the ground, and is expected to be there for the rest of the week.
