HOUSTON (KTRK) - Severe turbulence injured two passengers and three crew members on a United Airlines flight on Monday.
Officials with the carrier said medical personnel were called to Bush Intercontinental Airport in Houston to treat the patients.
No life-threatening injuries were reported.
United Airlines issued a statement saying they are grateful to their crew for keeping everyone on the flight as safe as possible considering the circumstances.
