KINGSTON, Jamaica — An aircraft attempting to land at Tinson Pen in Kingston reportedly ran off the runway on Thursday when it developed difficulties.

Reports are that approximately 12:45 pm, a Piper Aztec 34 aircraft coming from the Sangster International Airport was attempting to land when it veered off the runway to the south, overturned, and came to a halt in the verges.

Two men were reportedly on board the aircraft when the incident happened. They were taken to the hospital for medical checks.

Further investigations are being conducted.
