The campaign airplane of Republican vice-presidential nominee Mike Pence slid off the runway at LaGuardia Airport in New York City on Thursday night.

Emergency crews responded to the incident, which occurred during heavy rain. Journalists aboard the plane quickly tweeted that there were no injuries.

"The governor himself came to the back of the plane to make sure everyone was OK," Elizabeth Landers, a CNN producer who was on the plane, said on CNN.

The airport was closed for a time, according to a message from New York's Emergency Management service. Some arriving flights were being diverted to John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York City, while at least one flight was diverted to Philadelphia and another to Allentown, Pennsylvania.

Thirty-seven people were aboard the plane, according to New York's WPIX.

Mike Pence said on Twitter that he was safe about an hour after the incident:

A spokeswoman for Donald Trump said Trump called Pence from Ohio after the incident and was "very glad everyone on board the plane is safe," according to NBC News.

Hillary Clinton, the Democratic presidential nominee, also tweeted good wishes to Pence late Thursday night, saying "Glad to hear Mike Pence, his staff, Secret Service, and the crew are all safe."

Pence was campaigning for Trump in Iowa on Thursday. He is scheduled to campaign in Pennsylvania and North Carolina on Friday.
