Seven passengers were slightly injured when a runaway beverage cart on a Northwest Airlines plane rolled from the plane's rear to first class.

Flight 312 from Los Angeles to Minneapolis, with 224 passengers aboard, was landing yesterday evening when the cart broke loose from its storage space.

A Northwest spokeswoman says airport paramedics examined passengers who said they suffered bumps and bruises. One passenger who complained of a sore arm was taken to a hospital. Exactly how the cart got loose is under investigation.
