SALT LAKE CITY — A Delta Flight was diverted to Salt Lake City Saturday and while on the ground, the aircraft’s slide was deployed by accident, according to a Delta Spokesperson.
Delta flight 520, a B767-300, was on a flight from New York’s JFK airport to Los Angeles and was diverted to Salt Lake City due to a maintenance issue.
After the slide deployed, one crew member was taken to an area hospital for evaluation but has since been discharged.
The 168 passengers were re-accommodated on a secondary aircraft and it landed at LAX earlier this evening.
No emergency landing was declared, and the plane did not divert due to the slide.
