MINNEAPOLIS  — Two people were hurt when a catering truck went over a barricade at the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport and took a nosedive to a lower level.

The LSG Sky Chefs truck blocked a tunnel that led to the airfield and a terminal about 11:30 a.m. Sunday. It took more than five hours to move the truck back into a horizontal position.

The driver and passenger got out of the truck on their own but were taken to a hospital with injuries that weren’t life-threatening.
