Air Canada jet collides with ground vehicle at New York airport - Al Jazeera

An Air Canada Express flight from Montreal collided with a ground vehicle while landing at LaGuardia, resulting in two fatalities, multiple hospitalizations, runway closures and flight diversions. Investigators, including federal safety officials, are probing the cause and reported that the runway safety system did not alert controllers prior to the collision. The recent Newark incident, in which a United flight struck a light pole and damaged a tractor-trailer—injuring its driver—highlights a broader pattern of aircraft-ground collisions in the region that may prompt coordinated reviews of surface safety and approach procedures.
