LOS ANGELES – A Southwest Airlines flight landed in Los Angeles with one more passenger than when it took off.
A woman passenger gave birth shortly after Flight 623 took off from San Francisco Tuesday morning and the Phoenix-bound jet diverted to Los Angeles International Airport.
Airline spokeswoman Emily Samuels says the woman was assisted by the flight crew and a doctor and nurse who were aboard.
Los Angeles Fire Department spokesman Erik Scott says firefighter-paramedics boarded the aircraft and the mother and newborn were taken to a hospital in good condition.
