Erin Drozda and her wife are supposed to be in Costa Rica, but their travel plans got interrupted by a coyote.

“We heard a thud and then after the thud, we still took off. We were up in the air for 10 to 15 minutes, and then all of a sudden the captain came on and said, ‘This is the flight crew. If anyone heard that thud, we hit a coyote and we are now on our way back to Providence,'” Drozda told 12 News.

“We thought it was a joke at first,” she continued. “You don’t ever hear that.”

Drozda was on JetBlue flight #1129 out of T.F. Green Airport when the collision happened Tuesday morning.
