The airline reported hotels were unavailable in the area of Midland/Odessa so that the passengers had to be taken to the terminals and were provided with meals, beverages, pillows and blankets.
The aircraft was repaired and was able to continue the flight as UA-1762 the following day and reached Los Angeles with a delay of 16 hours.
