United flight diverted back to DIA after possible “wildlife strike”
A United Airlines flight headed from Denver to Canada was diverted back to the airport Sunday night after possibly striking wildlife midair, airline officials said.
The flight, UA2325, took off from Denver International Airport just after 7:20 p.m. Sunday. Less than an hour later, it was forced to return to DIA “to address a possible wildlife strike,” United spokesman Russell Carlton said.
The 153 passengers and six crew members were brought back to the gate loaded onto a new plane to resume their journey to Edmonton in Alberta, Carlton said.
None of the people onboard the Boeing 737-800 were injured.
