A United Airlines flight headed from Denver to Canada was diverted back to the airport Sunday night after possibly striking wildlife midair, airline officials said.
The flight, , took off from Denver International Airport just after 7:20 p.m. Sunday. Less than an hour later, it was forced to return to DIA “to address a possible wildlife strike,” United spokesman Russell Carlton said.
The 153 passengers and six crew members were brought back to the gate loaded onto a new plane to resume their journey to Edmonton in Alberta, Carlton said.
None of the people onboard the Boeing 737-800 were injured.
