FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. Three airline passengers were treated for minor injuries after evacuating from a plane at a Florida airport.
Spirit Airlines spokeswoman Misty Pinson says a smoky haze was reported in the cabin of the Spirit Airbus A-319 as it made its descent Sunday to Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport.
Ninety-nine passengers were aboard the flight from Colombia. Broward Sheriff Fire Rescue spokesman Mike Jachles says the plane's inflatable slides were used as a precaution to evacuate the passengers.
Firefighters didn't find any smoke. Pinson said Monday the source is still being investigated.
Jachles says one passenger suffered a back injury, one had an ankle injury and a third suffered abrasions in the evacuation.
