Eight people were hospitalized Monday after a JetBlue flight from Guayaquil, Ecuador, encountered “sudden, severe turbulence” shortly before arriving in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., according to a statement the carrier shared with The Washington Post.

Officials with the airline did not speak to the severity of injuries, which affected seven passengers and one crew member. The plane landed safely at Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport, its intended destination, where medical personnel transported people to the hospital.
