More from the New York Post:
The accident happened just before 3 p.m. when a Learjet 35A “veered off the runway after landing,” the Federal Aviation Administration said in a statement.
It collided with a Gulfstream 200 parked at a nearby ramp, according to AZ Family.
“We do not know how many people were on board. The FAA is temporarily pausing flights into the airport,” the agency added.
Images from the runway showed a jet on the tarmac without landing gear as emergency vehicles were nearby.
At least two people have been taken to the hospital, while one was being treated at the scene, sources told AZ Family.
