May 4 (UPI) -- A United Airlines flight hit a delivery truck and a light pole on the New Jersey Turnpike on approach to Newark International Airport in New Jersey, where it landed safely and nobody was hurt.
The National Transportation Safety Board is investigating the Sunday afternoon incident, which "has been classified as an accident due to the extent of the damage to the airplane."
"An NTSB investigator arrived in Newark this morning to conduct interviews of the flight crew," the agency said in a statement posted to X.
"The investigation will examine multiple factors, including flight operations, meteorological conditions, human performance, crew resource management, aircraft performance and air traffic traffic control," it said.
The flight was on approach from Venice, Italy, into Newark but flew too close to traffic, clipping a delivery truck and then hitting a light pole that reportedly struck a Jeep on the highway, CBS Baltimore and WABC reported.
