An American Airlines flight slid off a runway at New York’s Frederick Douglass Greater Rochester International Airport on Thursday amid icy and snowy weather conditions, officials have confirmed.

The incident occurred moments after American Eagle Flight 5811—which had taken off from Philadelphia International Airport—landed safely in New York at around 4 p.m.
