A United Airlines flight bound for Denver Sunday morning had to be evacuated after the plane took a wrong turn and became stuck in the mud.
No one was injured in the accident, which occurred shortly before 7 a.m. CST, and the 182 passengers were taken by bus back to the terminal, said Kansas City International Airport spokesman Joe McBride.
McBride said Flight 183 was taxiing to the runway under foggy conditions when it turned early onto an access road.
"The road is not wide enough and the nose gear and right main gear went into the mud," he said.
He said United was working to find other flights for the passengers and removing the plane from the mud.
