Heathrow planes 'collide' sparking large emergency service response at airport

Two planes reportedly crashed into each other on the ground at Heathrow Airport. Passengers reported seeing around ten police cars, along with fire engines, following an incident on Wednesday night (September 28).

MyLondon reports that one passenger who claims to have been on a flight, which is being blocked, said they were taxiing on the runway when they "suddenly got stopped by all these emergency services". According to the passenger, they were then told they were returning to the gate "due to a technical issue".

The incident reportedly happened at around 8pm. The Daily Star reports that Heathrow has confirmed the crash took place but said that it was not a "full on" collision.
