BOSTON – Police say a JetBlue flight from New York to Bermuda might have been struck by lightning before making an unscheduled landing at Boston’s Logan International Airport.

A Massachusetts Port Authority spokesman says the plane landed without incident.
State police spokesman David Procopio says it’s possible the plane was hit by lighting, but it hadn’t been confirmed.
