Stormy weather caused an American Airlines flight from San Antonio to Phoenix to be diverted to El Paso, Texas, due to a cracked windshield, KENS reported.

A spokesman for the airline said Flight 1897 was diverted to El Paso “due to damage sustained by weather in flight.”

The aircraft, an Airbus A319, had 130 passengers and a crew of five, the spokesman said.

Jesus Esparza, a passenger on the flight, told KENS he could hear hail striking the aircraft.

There were no reports of injuries, KENS reported.
