A ground stop has been ordered for all flights at San Diego International Airport Wednesday due to a disabled plane on the runway.

Jonathan Heller, the airport’s communications program director, said the private aircraft was taking off when the nose gear collapsed, according to NBC 7 San Diego.

“The aircraft came to a stop without any injuries to those on board,” Heller told the station. “However, it became disabled on the runway, causing the runway’s temporary closure. All inbound flights are currently being diverted to other airports. We have no further details at this time.”

NBC reported no injuries in the incident, which happened about 6 p.m.
