A JetBlue flight heading from New York to Denver was delayed Saturday night after a truck carrying toilet waste crashed into the aircraft.

The incident occurred around 8 p.m. at John F. Kennedy International Airport’s Terminal 5, forcing passengers to get off the plane until the truck could be dislodged from underneath, according to The New York Daily News.

Neither the male driver of the vehicle nor anyone on board the aircraft were injured.
