No injuries reported.

(Cleveland) - No one was injured Friday morning when a plane slid off of the runway at Hopkins International Airport.

Airport Spokeswoman Jackie Mayor tells WTAM 1100 the United Airlines 737 landed safely, but somehow slid off the runway when the pilot turned onto a taxi-way.

It happened just after 11:00 a.m., but Mayo did not know where the flight originated from.

The  plane stopped in the grass and two rental car shuttle buses were used to get passengers to the terminal.

Mayo says United will tow the plane back and look for any potential damage and a cause of the incident.
