Kulpin said three of the injured passengers were transported to a local hospital.
A twitter post from a passenger said the flight encountered "crazy turbulence and injuries."
A strong winter storm is impacting the region and the National Weather Service in Reno has warned aviators that periods of "downright dangerous flying conditions with extreme turbulence" could exist.
