Kingfisher ATR-72 overruns Mumbai runway

Mumbai: A Kingfisher Airlines ATR-72/500 today overran the runway while landing at Mumbai airport, India, after flight IT4124 from Bhavnagar. On board there were 42 passengers and 4 crewmembers, who didn't report any injuries due to the accident.
The pilot had difficulties to stop the airplane after landing. Weather conditions were of light rain and low visibility, so it ended the tarmac surface and stopped in the soft ground out of the runway. The airplane was immediately evacuated to avoid further problem, and reported substantial damage to the nose and left-hand gears, besides to the left hand wingtip and engine.
Pending the investigation, the pilots have been de-rostered.
