A United Airlines Boeing 757-200 lost a wheel during takeoff at Los Angeles International Airport on Monday, the airline confirmed.
United Flight 1001, carrying 174 passengers and seven crewmembers, from LAX to Denver departed shortly after 7 a.m.
“The wheel has been recovered in Los Angeles, and we are investigating what caused this event,” said United spokesperson Anousha Rasta.
According to FlightAware, the jet landed safely in Denver at 10:51 a.m. local time.
No injuries were reported on the aircraft or the ground, Rasta said, without sharing exactly where the wheel was found.
Boeing’s 757-200 has four wheels on each main landing gear and two on the nose gear.
In March, a United Airlines Boeing B777-200 jet traveling from San Francisco to Osaka, Japan, lost a tire during takeoff and was forced to make an emergency landing in Los Angeles. The tire slammed into cars in an airport employee parking lot.
