Eleven people on a Delta Air Lines flight were sent to the hospital after their plane got hit by severe turbulence.
A Delta spokesperson told Insider that Delta Air Lines flight 175 was traveling to Atlanta from Milan on Tuesday. The flight hit "severe turbulence" before landing safely at the Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, per the spokesperson.
The Delta spokesperson confirmed that the plane was carrying 151 passengers, 10 flight attendants, and four pilots. The injured included both crew members and passengers, and a total of 11 people were sent to the hospital, the spokesperson said.
"Looked to be about 12 people with serious head injuries. Several flight attendants, too. Bunch of blood and awfulness," an unnamed passenger told Fox 5 Atlanta. "My fiancée and I are so freaked out, we are renting a car and driving to our final destination instead."
The Delta spokesperson told Insider the carrier is grateful for the first responders who gave medical attention to those injured.
"Our priority is taking care of our customers and crew who sustained injuries," the spokesperson said.
The spokesperson added that the airline's agents are providing accommodation, food, and re-booking to affected customers.
