Air Canada Express Collision Highlights: An Air Canada Express flight from Montreal collided with a ground vehicle while landing at New York's LaGuardia Airport. The CRJ-900 plane, which was coming from Montreal, struck the vehicle at a speed of about 24 miles per hour (39 kph), according to the flight-tracking site FlightRadar24. The jet was operated by Jazz Aviation, Air Canada's regional partner.
Following the incident, the US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) put a ground stop in place for all aircraft at the airport until 0530 GMT, the regulator said in a notice.
That notice cited an emergency as the cause of the halt and said there was a strong chance the restriction would be extended, without offering further details.

An Air Canada jet carrying more than 70 passengers collided with a fire truck while landing at New York's LaGuardia Airport late Sunday, killing the pilot and copilot and injuring several others, officials said.
The fire truck was crossing the tarmac after being given permission to check on another plane reporting an odor onboard. Before the collision, an air traffic controller can be heard on airport communications frantically telling the fire truck to stop.
Roughly 20 minutes later, the controller appears to blame himself. "We were dealing with an emergency earlier," the controller said. "I messed up."
