RAPID CITY, S.D. (AP) — A JetBlue flight was diverted to western South Dakota after turbulence left more than 20 passengers and crew members injured.
JetBlue spokeswoman Katherine McMillan told The Boston Globe (http://bit.ly/2aQR3o7 ) that flight 429 was traveling from Boston to Sacramento, California, on Thursday when it was diverted to Rapid City, South Dakota, where it landed around 7:30 p.m.
South Dakota news outlets report that 22 passengers and two crew members were taken to a local hospital but were all treated for minor injuries and released.
