A Fron­tier Air­lines plane hit and killed a pedes­tri­an on the run­way of the Den­ver In­ter­na­tion­al Air­port dur­ing take­off, air­port au­thor­i­ties said, spark­ing an en­gine fire and forc­ing pas­sen­gers to evac­u­ate.

The plane, on route from Den­ver to Los An­ge­les In­ter­na­tion­al Air­port, “re­port­ed strik­ing a pedes­tri­an dur­ing take­off at DEN at ap­prox­i­mate­ly 11:19 p.m. on Fri­day,” the air­port’s of­fi­cial X ac­count wrote.

A spokesper­son for the air­port said the pedes­tri­an, who jumped a perime­ter fence, has died. They said the uniden­ti­fied per­son was hit two min­utes af­ter en­ter­ing the air­port. The per­son is not be­lieved to be an air­port em­ploy­ee.
