Small plane leaves runway at Midway Airport

Aviation officials say a small airplane went off a runway at Chicago's Midway International Airport.

Chicago Aviation Department spokeswoman Karen Pride says she's not sure if the private plane skidded when it left the runway shortly after 3:15 p.m. Tuesday.

She says no injuries were reported among the three people on board.

Pride says the runway involved in the incident is closed. But she says operations aren't affected because arrivals and departures have shifted to another runway.

The incident is under investigation and the National Transportation Safety Board has been notified.
