On Friday afternoon, a United Airlines flight landing at O’Hare International Airport slid slightly off the runway. No injuries were reported, and the cause wasn’t immediately clear, though the snow could have been a factor, according to NBC.

The flight, a Boeing 737 arriving from San Francisco, “partially rolled” off the runway, a United Airlines representative confirmed to NBC.

"It was a nice flight. It was a normal landing," passenger Steven Billings told NBC. "Didn't know anything until the pilot said we were slightly off the runway, going to wait until emergency personnel arrive."
