Sun Express Boeing 737-800 Skids off Runway at Stuttgart

Sun Express Boeing 737-800, registered as D-ASXO, arrived in Stuttgart, Germany on runway 25.

The aircraft was slowed to speed of 35 knots before the pilots seemed to have attempted a high speed runway exit. Runway surfaces were too wet to safely execute the turn and the aircraft slid off the taxiway into the grass, between taxiways I and K.

There are no reported injuries and the aircraft sustained fairly minor damage.
