Alaska Airlines Flight 369 was carrying 176 passengers and six crew members while aborting its takeoff due to possible traffic concerns, though air traffic had also cleared the flight for takeoff.
The Federal Aviation Administration said that Southwest Airlines Flight 2029 was allowed to cross the end of the runway, and they are looking into the incident. The Alaska Airlines pilots immediately hit the brakes to avoid the collision. The Seattle-bound flight will transfer its passengers to a replacement aircraft.
A comment request was sent to Southwest by Reuters, and the company did not immediately react to the incident. The report added that Alaska Airlines also said maintenance technicians in Nashville were checking the plane involved in the incident.
