"Delta's flight crew followed established procedures to suspend the takeoff of flight 2668 from Atlanta (ATL) to Minneapolis-St. Paul (MSP) after an indication of an engine issue," Delta Air Lines said in a statement.

Four people were injured when a Delta Air Lines flight departing from Atlanta on Friday morning was forced to abort during takeoff. The incident comes amid a cold winter front that led to over 900 flight cancellations at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport.

A Delta jet with more than 200 people on board was evacuated on the tarmac at the Atlanta airport Friday morning after an engine issue prompted an aborted takeoff, leaving four people injured, airline and airport officials said.
