Delta Air Lines passengers had to evacuate onto the tarmac at Atlanta's Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport on Friday morning due to an engine issue amid a winter storm, according to the airline.

A Delta jet with more than 200 people on board was evacuated on the tarmac at the Atlanta airport Friday morning after an engine issue prompted an aborted takeoff, leaving four people injured, airline and airport officials said.

"Delta's flight crew followed established procedures to suspend the takeoff of flight 2668 from Atlanta (ATL) to Minneapolis-St. Paul (MSP) after an indication of an engine issue," Delta Air Lines said in a statement.
