The NTSB is investigating a fatal accident at Denver’s airport Friday night.

A person crossing a runway was hit and killed by a Frontier Airlines plane that was taking off. The pedestrian had jumped a fence to get onto the tarmac. Some passengers said the cabin was filling with smoke, and the pilots aborted takeoff.

The NTSB is also examining how passengers exited the plane.
