A few people were treated for minor injuries after a WestJet flight had to make an emergency stop in Salt Lake City on Friday.
A spokesperson with the airline confirmed that flight 1402, which was headed to Phoenix from Calgary, hit a pocket of severe turbulence, and had to stop.
Two or three people had minor injuries, but no one needed to be taken to hospital.
Another plane was sent to Salt Lake City to take the passengers the rest of the way to Phoenix.
