ROCHESTER (AP) -- Authorities say no one was injured when a passenger jet with 45 people on board ran off the runway at Rochester's airport shortly after landing.
Officials at the Greater Rochester International Airport tell local media outlets that United Airlines Flight 3350 from Chicago landed during a snow storm around 11:35 p.m. Wednesday and ended up 50 to 75 feet off the runway.
Officials say there doesn't appear to be any damage to the plane.
Passengers were transported from the plane to the terminal.
The flight was operated for United by Trans States Airlines, a regional carrier.
The plane was being towed from its position Thursday morning.
There was no immediate word on what caused the plane wind up off the runway. Federal aviation investigators are on the scene.
