Southwest Airlines jet hits, kills person on runway in Texas

A Southwest Airlines jet struck and killed a person after landing at an airport in Austin, Texas on Thursday night, authorities said.

According to preliminary information released by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), Southwest Airlines Flight 1392 reported seeing a person on the runway, shortly after the Boeing 737 touched down at Austin-Bergstrom International Airport around 8:12 p.m.

Officials don't believe the unidentified man was authorized to be on the runway at the time, airport spokesman Bryce Dubee said. The FAA said the driver of an airport operations vehicle later found the victim's body on the runway.
