An Air Canada Express jet flying from Montreal collided with a ground vehicle upon landing at New York’s LaGuardia Airport. The incident has resulted in closure of the airport, with significant damage to the aircraft reported, according to Reuters and Channel News Asia.

The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) imposed a ground stop for all planes at LaGuardia until 0530 GMT due to the emergency situation. There is a high probability of this halt being extended, as indicated by separate FAA notices, according to South China Morning Post, India Times, and Business Insider.
