United Airlines plane slides off runway at Austin Straubel Airport in Green Bay

A United Airlines flight slid off the runway at Austin Straubel International Airport in Green Bay early Friday morning after landing in icy conditions.

No passengers were injured in the 3:15 a.m. incident, KARE-TV in Minneapolis reported. The station said personnel with the airport fire department helped get people off the plane.

The plane, carrying 180 passengers and seven crew members, was bound for Minneapolis from Houston but was diverted because of bad weather, Tom Miller, director of Austin Straubel International Airport, said in a statement.

The Boeing 737-900 landed in Madison and was on the ground about 45 minutes. It took off from Madison about 1:15 a.m. Friday. KARE-TV reported the plane circled Minneapolis several times and then headed to Green Bay instead. 

A passenger, Mike Henderson, told the TV station in a telephone interview that the runway was icy. "You couldn't feel the brakes biting at all. And then all of a sudden bumpety bump and we're now sitting off in the weeds at the end of the runway."

Miller said the plane ran off the runway by about 250 feet.

Henderson told the TV station the plane originally was supposed to land in Minneapolis about 10:30 p.m. Thursday.

Earlier Thursday, a small plane en route to Green Bay crashed in Indiana Thursday night, killing all on board, according to news reports.

WISH-TV in Indianapolis reported that a Cessna Conquest II crashed in Carroll County, Ind., after having taken off from Indianapolis.
