A Delta flight diverted to Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport on Wednesday night after dozens of people were injured when the flight "encountered significant turbulence."

In a news release, Delta wrote that 25 people were taken to the hospital once the flight landed with the MSP Fire Department and paramedics responding to the plane at the gate to evaluate those who were injured.

"We are grateful for the support of all emergency responders involved," Delta said. "Safety is our No. 1 value at Delta, and our Delta Care Team is working directly with customers to support their immediate needs."

FlightAware data shows the Airbus A330-900 departed SLC international Airport at 4:46 p.m. and reached an altitude of 37,000 feet, landing at MSP just over three hours later.

"We are grateful for the support of all emergency responders involved," Delta said. "Safety is our No. 1 value at Delta, and our Delta Care Team is working directly with customers to support their immediate needs."

The flight had 275 customers and 13 crew members on board.
