Air Canada CRJ-900 has collided with a fire truck while landing at La Guardia Airport. The plane, a Jazz Aviation flight operating on behalf of Air Canada, struck a Port Authority vehicle that was responding a separate incident around 11:40 p.m., according to the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey. Two sources familiar with the matter said the pilot and copilot on board the passenger plane were badly injured in the late-night collision. A Port Authority Police Department sergeant and officer had broken limbs and were stabilized at a hospital, they said. No other major injuries have been reported, the sources said. The plane was nearing the end of its landing, rolling at about 30 mph, when collision took place, the sources said.
