A passenger jet ran off the runway Saturday afternoon at Blue Grass Airport in Lexington. No injuries were reported.

The incident happened around 1:30 p.m. Fire department officials say a CRJ-900 plane with 72 people on board ran off the runway into the grass.

Blue Grass Airport officials tell WKYT Delta Flight 3359 heading from Atlanta to Lexington went off the side of the runway into the grass. Officials say all passengers are accounted for, safe and taken to Terminal B.

Airport officials say Blue Grass Airport is open, but no flights are coming or going from the airport at this time. It's unknown how long flights will be delayed, but officials say it's because they have to move the plane from its current location.

“Heavy rain and low visibility may very well be a factor,” said WKYT Chief Meteorologist Chris Bailey. “It was raining hard there from 1 to 1:30 p.m. Blue Grass Airport reported torrential rains around the time the plane skidded off the runway. More than one inch of rain fell in under an hour.”

Photos on social media show passengers from Delta flight 3359 from Atlanta to Lexington leaving the plane through its doorway.

According to the airport's flight status page, three outgoing flights have been canceled, and at least one arrival has been canceled. Several more flights are delayed.
