An Air Canada Express regional jet struck a Port Authority vehicle on the ground after landing at New York's LaGuardia Airport late Sunday night, killing two people and forcing the airport to close.
The CRJ-900 plane, which was arriving from Montreal, struck the vehicle at about 24 miles per hour shortly before midnight, according to flight tracking website Flightradar24.
Two pilots were killed in the incident, Port Authority Executive Director Kathryn Garcia said at a news briefing.
More than 40 passengers, crew members and Aircraft Rescue and Firefighting (ARFF) officers were transported to the hospital, she said.
"At this time, we understand that 32 have been released, but there are also serious injuries," Garcia said.
"Sadly, the two pilots are confirmed deceased and notifications are being made by Air Canada's care team at this time."
The jet was operated by Jazz Aviation, Air Canada's regional partner.
Air Canada and Jazz Aviation confirmed the incident to Fox News Digital.
"Flight 8646 was en route to LGA from Montréal (YUL)," Jazz Aviation said in a statement to Fox News Digital.
"The preliminary passenger list indicates the aircraft was carrying 72 passengers and 4 crew members, although this is subject to confirmation.
The incident occurred at approximately 11:47PM on March 22, 2026."
The U.S.
Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) issued a ground stop for all planes at the airport, saying there was an emergency without offering specific details.
The airport is expected to be closed until 2 p.m.
Monday, the FAA said.
Frantic air traffic control audio has been released revealing the moment of the crash that left two pilots dead and at least 42 injured after striking a fire truck Sunday at New York's LaGuardia airport.
In the moments before the crash, an air traffic controller could be heard on a radio transmission discussing the request for the emergency vehicle to cross part of the tarmac, then trying to stop it.
"Stop, Truck 1.
Stop," the transmission says, which can be heard repeatedly.
The controller can then be heard frantically diverting an incoming aircraft from landing.
