At least 10 people, including the pilot, were injured when a Boeing passenger plane overran the runway while aborting takeoff from Senegal\u2019s international airport in the outskirts of Dakar on Thursday, the country\u2019s transport minister said.<\/p>\n

Air Senegal Flight HC301, which is operated by Transair,<\/a> was carrying 79 passengers, two pilots and four cabin crew on an early morning flight from Blaise Diagne<\/a> International Airport to Bamako, Mali, when it went off the runway, Malick Ndiaye, the minister of infrastructure and land and air transport, said in a statement<\/a> posted on social media.<\/p>\n

Emergency services were deployed to evacuate the passengers, and those who were injured were receiving medical care, Mr. Ndiaye said.<\/p>\n

Footage from social media and published by The Associated Press<\/a> showed passengers going down emergency slides in the dark as one side of the aircraft was in flames. \u201cOur plane just caught fire,\u201d wrote Cheick Siriman Sissoko, a musical artist from Mali, in a post on Facebook<\/a>, The A.P. reported. He could not be reached by telephone later on Thursday.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
