TWO BOEING AIRCRAFT COLLIDE ON RUNWAY IN MIAMI

MIAMI, NOVEMBER 15 /SRNA/ - A cargo aircraft operated by U.S. shipping company UPS and a plane operated by Panama-based Copa Airlines collided on the runway at Miami International Airport, leaving two people with minor injuries, the Miami Fire Department said.

The collision occurred last night at the intersection of two taxiways and involved a UPS Boeing 767 and a Copa Airlines Boeing 737, CBS reported.

Miami International Airport Communications Director Greg Chin said that firefighters treated two people at the scene for minor injuries and that neither required medical transport.

He added that flights were diverted to other taxiways, so the collision did not affect airport operations.
