    DALLAS (AP) -- Problems for a Midwest Airlines plane on the ground in Dallas.

    An airport spokesman says a service van's driver lost consciousness and wedged the van under the plane, which was full of passengers.

    David Magana of Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport says no one in the plane was hurt in that incident yesterday, but the flight to Milwaukee was canceled.

    Airline spokesman Michael Brophy says the Boeing 717 had significant damaged.

    The worker for a ramp services company who drove the van was flown to a Fort Worth hospital for treatment. The worker's condition has not been released.

    Magana says the driver had a medical problem and lost consciousness behind the wheel. The plane was parked at the gate.
