A Delta Connection flight reportedly skid into mud shortly after landing at Raleigh-Durham International Airport (RDU) in North Carolina.
According to FlightAware.com, Endeavor Air flight 5501 from Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport (DCA) touched down at RDU apparently shortly after 8:52 PM EST.
The CRJ-900 apparently slid into the mud soon after:
RDU’s airfield closed at approximately 9 pm when Delta Flight 5501 landed safely and rolled into the mud while taxiing, with no reported injuries. We are completing snow removal on alternate runway 5R/23L, and it will reopen once removal is complete.
