At least 18 passengers have been taken to the hospital after a people mover vehicle hit a building dock at Dulles International Airport.
At around 4:30 p.m. local time Monday, the vehicle taking travelers to an airport gate crashed into the dock “at an angle as it was pulling up to the building,” the Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority told The Independent.
“Passengers deboarded the mobile lounge via stairs,” authorities said. “They are being evaluated by Airports Authority Fire & Rescue personnel for possible injuries.”
Authorities said 18 people were taken to a nearby hospital with “non-life-threatening injuries.”
“The airport is open and operating as normal,” authorities said.
