Plane Lands Safely; Tractor-Trailer Driver Treated At Hospital The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) is investigating a Sunday afternoon incident in which dashcam video shows United Airlines 767 hitting a light pole and a tractor-trailer during its approach to Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR). All 221 passengers and 10 crew were unharmed as the aircraft landed safely and taxied to the gate. The driver of the tractor-trailer, who works for the Baltimore-based H&S Bakery, suffered cuts when one of the jet’s wheels hit the truck window and sent glass flying. He was taken to a nearby hospital for treatment. Authorities say the incident happened Sunday afternoon as the United flight from Italy was descending toward the runway. A landing tire and the underside of the aircraft struck a light pole and a tractor-trailer traveling on the New Jersey Turnpike near Interchange 14 in Newark. The plane then landed safely.
