Four people on a Florida-bound Allegiant Air flight were being examined for injuries after the flight encountered severe turbulence Wednesday afternoon, the airline said.
Allegiant Air Flight 227, which had taken off from Asheville, North Carolina, "experienced severe turbulence before landing" at St. Pete-Clearwater International Airport, airline spokesperson Andrew Porrello said.
Two passengers and two flight attendants were taken to a hospital for evaluation after airport paramedics assessed them for injuries, Porrello said, without describing the injuries or the conditions of the four. "And then we hit a major turbulence, which was petrifying. And she was literally like 'Matrix.' Watched her go up in the air and just land straight down," Spriggs said.
