**Delta Jets Collide at LaGuardia: One Injured**

Two Delta passenger planes collided at New York’s LaGuardia Airport, resulting in significant damage and at least one injury. The incident occurred around 9.56pm on Wednesday night while both CRJ-900 regional jets, operated by Delta subsidiary Endeavor Air, were taxiing at low speed.

According to Delta, a wing of one aircraft, preparing for takeoff to Roanoke, Virginia, struck the fuselage of another jet arriving from Charlotte, North Carolina. Eyewitness footage captured the aftermath, showing one plane’s wing severely damaged and the nose of the other visibly dented. Emergency vehicles quickly responded to the scene, as passengers and crew members were left stranded on the tarmac.

A passenger described the experience as terrifying, stating, "We were taxiing to our runway and we got absolutely smashed by another Delta flight... I don’t know if we hit them or they hit us but it was super jarring. Everyone shot forward in their seats, it was a little chaotic, we were shocked at what happened."

A flight attendant sustained non-life threatening injuries and was transported to a hospital, as confirmed by the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey. Delta reported that there were no injuries among passengers.

Despite the incident, Delta stated that the rest of the airport’s operations were not expected to be affected. The airline expressed its commitment to safety, saying, "Delta will work with all relevant authorities to review what occurred as safety of our customers and people comes before all else. We apologise to our customers for the experience."

An airport spokesperson added that passengers were deplaned on the taxiway and transported via buses back to Terminal C. Those on the departing flights will be rebooked onto other services.
