BOSTON-

A flight from New York was evacuated Friday after landing in Boston because the pilot smelled smoke in the cockpit and cabin.

About 40 passengers and five crew on Delta Air Lines Flight 1908 from LaGuardia Airport were evacuated on inflatable chutes at about 7:30 a.m., Massport spokesman Phil Orlandella said.

Two people reported possible injuries, including a hurt back and leg and hip problems, Orlandella said.

Orlandella said the pilot ordered the evacuation after noticing the smell of smoke while the plane was taxiing to the terminal.

The cause of the smoke smell remained under investigation.
