A mobile lounge, also known as a people mover, struck a dock at Washington Dulles International Airport in Virginia on Monday, sending 18 passengers to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries, officials said.

The incident occurred around 4:30 p.m. when the vehicle hit a dock at an angle as it was pulling up to Concourse D, according to the Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority (MWAA). The dock is where the vehicle stops to let passengers enter the concourse.

"Passengers deboarded the mobile lounge via stairs. They are being evaluated by Airports Authority Fire and Rescue personnel for possible injuries," the MWAA said in a statement.
