Passengers on board a Southwest Airlines flight from Florida said a pickup truck hit their plane early Monday morning on the tarmac at Baltimore-Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport.

WJLA-TV reported the airline hadn't released any comment on the early Monday morning crash, aside from responding to a tweet from passenger Michael Simon whose Twitter thread contains a photo of the plane and truck near the gate.

The airline said it was "glad to hear everyone made it safely to BWI" but that it regretted the inconvenience.

The Boeing 737 left Fort Lauderdale late Sunday night. According to the airline's flight tracker, it landed in Baltimore at 12:46 a.m., shortly before its scheduled arrival.

Neither the airline nor the airport released any further details.
