Delta Air Lines says a flight from Salt Lake City to Amsterdam was hit by serious turbulence, sending 25 people to hospitals and forcing the flight to divert to Minneapolis-St.

The flight, which was taking 275 passengers from Salt Lake City to Amsterdam, made an emergency landing in Minneapolis on Wednesday evening, the airline said.
