Air Canada flight diverted to Twin Cities

An Air Canada flight was diverted to Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport after a crack developed in the plane's windshield.

The flight, with 114 passengers on board, originated in San Francisco and was headed to Toronto Tuesday evening.

Air Canada says the flight was diverted as a precaution. KSTP-TV says there's no word on what caused the windshield to crack.

A replacement plane was sent to pick up the passengers.
