The Denver airport said the Frontier flight “reported striking a pedestrian” at approximately 11:19 p.m. local time. There was a brief engine fire that was quickly extinguished by the Denver Fire Department, the airport said in a statement early Saturday.

Data from flight-tracking website Flightradar24 showed the plane was accelerating at about 146 miles an hour at roughly 11:15 p.m. local time, before it aborted takeoff.

“We are deeply saddened by this event,” Frontier said.

The National Transportation Safety Board is coordinating with the FAA, Denver International Airport operations and local law enforcement to gather information about the incident, the NTSB said Saturday morning.

There's a video of a passenger recording the take-off and you can hear the person getting hit :fatcat: apparently they got sucked into the engine causing the engine fire.
