An Avianca flight from Medellín, Colombia, to New York diverted to Miami early Friday after encountering severe turbulence; nine passengers and crew members were affected, and eight were hospitalized.
Miami-Dade Fire Rescue said one person was taken to a trauma center with severe injuries and seven others were transported by ambulance to area hospitals. Avianca identified those affected as six passengers and three cabin crew members; one did not require hospitalization.
The Airbus A320, operating as Flight AV042, had been bound for John F. Kennedy International Airport. It landed safely at Miami International Airport shortly after 3 a.m., where emergency crews treated those aboard.
Avianca said it activated assistance procedures for the passengers and employees involved. Travelers who were not injured were rebooked on other flights to continue to New York.
The Federal Aviation Administration confirmed the diversion. Authorities and the airline had not released further details about the injuries or the conditions that caused the turbulence.

WHAT THE EDITOR DID
The second model checked the writer's draft against the same sources and changed it before publication. Struck words were in the draft; underlined words are its corrections.
WHAT IT FLAGGED editor revise: The story is largely supported, but the lead should distinguish the nine affected from the eight hospitalized to avoid misleading readers. - "leaving nine passengers and crew members affected": ABC and Colombia One say nine people were injured or affected, but the title says eight hospitalized; the wording is potentially misleading because only eight were hospitalized. - "shortly after 3 a.m.": Colombia One says the plane landed at around 3:30 a.m.; ABC says shortly after 3 a.m. This is not material by itself, but no issue needed.
