An airliner bound for Salt Lake City made an unscheduled landing in Casper because of a medical emergency.
Casper Natrona County International Airport manager Glenn Januska said the Delta 757, which took off in Minneapolis, landed around 8 a.m. Monday.
Januska said one passenger lost consciousness because of a medical condition. He said she had regained consciousness by the time she was taken off the plane and transported to a hospital.
The plane then continued on to Salt Lake City.
A spokesperson for Delta didn't return a telephone call seeking comment.
