MEMPHIS, Tenn. -- A stowaway of sorts was found on a FedEx flight that took off from Memphis Friday morning.

The pilot and crew got a scare during the flight when someone started banging on the cabin door.

Turns out, it was a hub employee who had fallen asleep while loading the plane overnight in Memphis.

The employee was apparently working overnight on one of those planes when he passed out, and he didn't wake up until minutes before the plane landed in Lubbock, Texas.

No arrests were made. Investigators are calling it an accident.

FedEx released a statement saying "there was never any danger to our employees or cargo. We are fully cooperating with investigating authorities."

They didn't say who the employee was and why he fell asleep.

Bennie Braswell said he gets it. He works overnight hours, and sometimes it's just tough staying awake.

"It's hard to sleep during the day," he said.

The airport has since turned the employee over to FedEx.

Airport operations were not impacted.
