A truck driver has been lightly injured after a United Airlines plane clipped his vehicle and a streetlight as it approached Newark Airport in New Jersey on Sunday. The Boeing 767, operating a flight from Venice, Italy, managed to land safely, with no reported injuries among the 231 passengers and crew on board. One of the plane's tyres appears to have gone through one of the truck's windows and windscreen, the driver's employers told CBS News, the BBC's US news partner. In dash camera footage from the truck, the sound of a low-flying plane can be heard, and it shows the impact which sent glass flying everywhere. The driver was treated for injuries from glass in his arm and hand. United Airlines said in a statement it would "conduct a rigorous flight safety investigation into the incident and our crew has been removed from service as part of this process".

The Settle to Carlisle railway line celebrates 150 years of operation, marking the anniversary with 150p tickets. The scenic route through North Yorkshire and Cumbria, famous for the Ribblehead Viaduct, was threatened with closure in the 1980s but saved after thousands - and one border collie named Ruswarp - objected. The line passes through some of Britain's most magnificent countryside, with peaks including Pen-y-Ghent, Whernside and Ingleborough.

A massive 100-foot serac (glacier block) is blocking the climbing route on Mount Everest just below Camp 1, forcing icefall doctors to wait for natural melting before they can fix ropes to higher camps. The obstruction has delayed preparations by weeks as peak spring season begins, with 367 climbers already holding permits. The situation raises concerns about traffic jams at the summit as weather windows narrow.

Two Trains Collide Head-On in Denmark, Five Critically Injured

The collision occurred at 06:29 local time on the Gribskov line linking Hillerød and Kagerup in North Zealand, with 38 people on board.
