The flight, a Southwest flight from Jacksonville, Florida, landed in Denver at about 8:44 p.m. on Sunday. Officials at the airport said they had received reports of a plane struck by lightning and that emergency crews responded as is standard protocol.

The plane ultimately made it safely to the gate, and no injuries were reported.
