A Pinnacle Airlines Canadair CRJ-200 on behalf of Delta Airlines, registration N8938A performing flight 9E-3899/DL-3899 from New York JFK,NY to Cleveland,OH (USA), had safely landed on Cleveland's runway 24L but during turn off skidded resulting in the nose wheels slide off paved surface and come to a stop on soft ground at about 21:46L (02:46Z Dec 22nd). No injuries and no damage occurred. The passengers disembarked onto the intersection runway/taxiway and were bussed to the terminal.
