A piece of tire from a United Airlines plane’s landing gear peeled off from a Japan-bound flight shortly after takeoff from San Francisco International Airport, and had to be diverted to LAX on Thursday.

A United Airlines flight that took off from San Francisco International Airport was diverted to Los Angeles after losing a tire during takeoff Thursday that proceeded to damage several parked vehicles parked at the airport. "United flight 35 lost one tire after takeoff from San Francisco. The flight will land at LAX. Once the flight lands in Los Angeles, we will arrange a new aircraft to continue this trip for our customers," a United Airlines spokesperson told Fox News Digital.

The crew on the Boeing 757-300 declared an emergency on Monday while the flight was approximately 270 miles from its destination, reporting a shutdown of the right-hand engine. United said despite the delay, the aircraft managed to land safely at San Francisco International Airport nearly an hour after the incident.

On Monday afternoon, United flight 214 experienced an engine issue shortly before its arrival at San Francisco International Airport," a United Airlines spokesperson said. "The flight landed safely and passengers deplaned normally."
