The aircraft landed safely, taxied to the gate normally and no passengers or crew were injured. Our maintenance team is evaluating damage to the aircraft and we will investigate how this occurred,&#8221; the airline said, in part, in a statement.<\/p>\n<p>The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey said the plane was on its way to Runway 29 when it hit the pole, causing damage to the pole and a tractor-trailer traveling south on the turnpike. The driver was taken to the hospital with minor injuries and was later released.<\/p>\n<p>New Jersey State Police said a preliminary investigation indicated a tire from the plane&#8217;s landing gear and &#8220;the underside of the plane&#8221; hit both the pole and the tractor-trailer. The pole also struck a Jeep traveling on the turnpike, state police said.<\/p>\n<p>The Federal Aviation Administration said it is investigating the incident.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m grateful the aircraft landed safely, and all passengers and crew are unharmed,&#8221; Gov. Mikie Sherrill wrote, in part, on social media.<\/p>\n<p>Airport staff inspected the runway for debris and normal operations were quickly resumed, the Port Authority added.<\/p>\n<p>The National
