A United Airlines flight that took off from San Francisco International Airport (SFO) was diverted to Los Angeles after losing a tire during takeoff Thursday that proceeded to damage several parked vehicles parked at the airport.
“United flight 35 lost one tire after takeoff from San Francisco. The flight will land at LAX. Once the flight lands in Los Angeles, we will arrange a new aircraft to continue this trip for our customers,” a United Airlines spokesperson told Fox News Digital.
The flight has since landed safely at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX).
The spokesperson said the Boeing 777-200 aircraft was carrying 249 people on board, including 235 customers, 10 flight attendants, and four pilots.
