A possible Delta flight has reportedly slid off the runway at the MSN airport in Madison, Wisconsin, or the Dane County Regional Airport.

According to the State Journal, the plane was upright and no injuries were reported after it slid due to slick conditions. The runway was apparently covered with snow.

“7-37 has slid off the runway @ Madison #Wisconsin airport. Ambulances/fire equipment responding to airfield via @WiStateJournal,” wrote WBBM reporter Steve Grzanich on Twitter, citing the Wisconsin State Journal

He said that fire trucks and ambulances are on the scene.

WISC-TV reported that airport officials said they are “not aware of any injuries,” and the station said it was a Delta flight.

The slide apparently caused several delays.

The Weather Channel reported that the plane came into contact with snow on the runway, leading to the slide.
