A flight en route from Mexico to Canada made an unscheduled stop Friday night at Raleigh-Durham International Airport after a medical problem was reported on board, officials said.
Posted — UpdatedThe WestJet flight was heading from Cancun to Toronto when it touched down at RDU, according to airport spokesman Andy Sawyer. One passenger was taken to a local hospital, and four other passengers were treated at a staging area at the airport.
