A United Airlines flight arriving into Houston from Las Vegas skid off the runway while landing at Bush Intercontinental Airport on Monday morning.
The flight was arriving during inclement weather and slid off the tarmac into the grass when it landed on the runway.
Shortly before landing, the pilot told passengers to prepare for a bumpy ride due to the weather conditions, according to Ashley Paredez, a reporter from Austin who was a passenger on the flight.

There were no injuries reported. One passenger on the flight, Valerie Akin Zargarpur, posted a photo of the plane and noted that "staff and firefighters kept things calm" while evacuating passengers from the plane.
So this happened this morning... Who needs coffee when your plane skids off the runway! Very professional crew, staff and firefighters kept things calm and got us all off the plane safely #flightUA1545 #unitedairlines @united A photo posted by Valerie Akin Zargarpur (@mrszargarpur) on Apr 13, 2015 at 5:14am PDT
Local new outlet Houston Chronicle, reported that the 737 aircraft made the initial landing without incident, but attempted to turn off the runway onto an adjacent taxiway and "turned too wide."
Local reporter Ashley Paredez was a passenger on the plane and documented the experience.
