Frontier Airlines plane and 2 two trucks nearly collide at LAX

LOS ANGELES — The Federal Aviation Administration is investigating a close call between a Frontier Airlines plane and two trucks on the tarmac at Los Angeles International Airport.

“We just had two trucks just cut us off, we had to slam on the brakes not to hit ’em,” the pilot is heard in shocking audio detailing the close call on Wednesday night.

The Airbus A321 aircraft was taking off for Atlanta as scheduled. The pilot told air traffic control the trucks crossed in front of the jet as they were taxiing at a slow speed.

“It happened so fast, both of us were just like holy (expletive), and then we just slammed on the brakes. I might have to call the flight attendants to make sure everybody’s alright in the back. It was real close. The closest I’ve ever seen.”

In a statement to ABC News, Frontier Airlines said: “We are aware of the incident. No injuries were reported to passengers or crew. We thank our crew for their vigilance and professionalism.”

This all comes just weeks after an Air Canada jet slammed into a fire truck on the runway shortly after landing at New York City’s LaGuardia Airport. The pilot and co-pilot of the plane died, but all the passengers survived.
