LOUISVILLE, Ky. -- A handful of passengers aboard a Northwest Airlines
flight on its way to Detroit suffered injuries due to turbulence and
the plane was forced to land in Louisville.

Louisville International Airport spokeswoman Trish Burke said the
flight departed Tuesday from Knoxville, Tenn., and hit some
turbulence. She said three or four passengers suffered injuries.

The plane was diverted to Louisville, where it landed around 5:30 p.m EDT.

Burke said she has no information on the extent of the injuries or
where the plane hit turbulence. Severe storms plagued Kentucky on
Tuesday.

A telephone call to the airline was not immediately returned.
