Turbulent flight from CLT to St. Louis injures three

Two flight attendants and a passenger were injured Tuesday during a turbulent flight from Charlotte to St. Louis.

US Airways flight 1667 experienced significant turbulence about 70 miles north of Nashville, according to WCNC-TV, the Observer’s news partner.

Emergency vehicles surrounded a plane on the tarmac at Lambert International Airport when it landed around 9 p.m. Tuesday

While all passengers were seated at the time, the flight attendants were not.

According to officials, the two flight attendants were treated on the scene. But one passenger was transported to the hospital with what were described as minor injuries, according to KSDK-TV, the NBC affiliate in St. Louis.

Officials with US Airways said the plane, an Airbus 319, will get a routine check to see if there was any damage.
