From
Plane Skids Off Runway at Buffalo Niagara Airport
"The pilot told the passengers that a strong gust of wind carried the plane off the runway."
"After emergency crews arrived, fire officials assured the 69 passengers that there were no mechanical issues with the aircraft and that they were not in any danger."
That said, I normally don't trust the news as a good source of info for aircraft incidents.
