A JetBlue flight from New York to Las Vegas was diverted to Texas on Tuesday (March 27) after the captain suffered a medical emergency

Flight 191, with 135 passengers on board, was about 3 1/2 hours into the flight when it was diverted to Amarillo, a statement by JetBlue said.

An off-duty pilot on the same flight entered the flight deck prior to landing, and took over once the plane was on the ground.

The stricken captain was removed from the aircraft and taken to a medical facility.

The FBI and the Texas police are investigating the incident
