A pair of commercial passenger planes clipped each other while taxiing at Boston Logan International Airport, possibly injuring one person.

Both planes suffered damage in the 7:30 p.m. incident, according to Massport, an agency that manages Logan Airport.

One plane was a 767 jet operated directly by Delta and the second was a smaller plane operated by America Southeast Airlines as a regional carrier for Delta, according to The Associated Press.

“While taxiing out for departure, the wing from Flight 266 from Boston to Amsterdam made contact with the vertical stabilizer of ASA Flight 4904, also on departure from Boston to Raleigh-Durham, [N.C.],” Delta said in a prepared statement this evening.
