APPLETON, Wis. (AP) -- The Minnesota Vikings' team plane slid off a Wisconsin runway in snowy conditions and became stuck in the grass, leaving players waiting for hours to get off the aircraft.
A team spokesman said there were no injuries after the landing shortly after 5 p.m. at Appleton International Airport. The Vikings were set to play the Green Bay Packers on Saturday.
The airport did not have a staircase tall enough to reach the doorway of the stuck plane. Firetrucks arrived to retrieve passengers, but only two could leave the plane at a time.
