US vice presidential candidate Mike Pence's plane slides off runway

October 28, 2016 09:42

Mike Pence, the Republican vice-presidential nominee, has emerged unscathed after his plane skidded off the runway while landing at LaGuardia airport in New York in heavy rain.

The plane carrying Donald Trump's running mate ended up on the grass next to the runway, witnesses said.

None of the estimated 30 people on board were injured. Pence pledged to hit the campaign trail again on Friday although he canceled his appearance at a fundraiser scheduled for Thursday night at Trump Tower in Manhattan.

"So thankful everyone on our plane is safe," the Indiana governor said on Twitter after the incident. "Grateful for our first responders & the concern & prayers of so many."
