BBC News - American Airlines plane 'overshoots runway' in Jamaica

An American Airlines plane has overshot the runway at an airport in the Jamaican capital Kingston, reports say.

Initial reports suggested Flight AA 331 from Miami had broken apart after landing at Norman Manley International Airport in heavy rain.

Jamaican information Minister Daryl Vaz said at least 40 people were injured but there were no reported fatalities.

A journalist from the Jamaica Observer told the BBC the plane came to rest on a roadway.

He said survivors thought the plane was landing normally before there was a series of jolts and luggage fell from overhead lockers.

Kingston police officer O'Neil Hinds told AP some people had been taken to hospital.
