A Southwest Airlines flight traveling from Las Vegas to Milwaukee was diverted to Denver following a pressurization issue that injured one person Friday night, the Denver Fire Department said.
Southwest flight 100 left McCarran International Airport at 5:51 p.m. for Milwaukee according to Internet flight information. It landed safely about 8:30 p.m. at Denver International Airport.
Five ambulances were called to the gate and one person was taken to an area hospital after slipping and falling, said Melissa Taylor, spokeswoman for the Denver Fire Department.
There were no other injuries, Taylor said.
