DENVER — Transportations safety officials are investigating a cracked windscreen, which made a United Airlines flight divert from its route Thursday.

The National Transportation Safety Board said a Boeing 737 Max 8 took off from Denver International Airport around 5:51 a.m.

When flight 1093 was near Moab, Utah, it diverted from its original destination of Los Angeles International Airport to Salt Lake City International Airport due to a crack in the windscreen. It's not yet clear what may have caused the crack or how significant the damage was.
