July 25 (Reuters) - Two flight attendants on a Southwest

Airlines ( LUV ) flight departing from Burbank, California were

injured and being treated on Friday after pilots took evasive

action to avoid another aircraft, the airline said.

Southwest Flight 1496 sharply descended nearly 500 feet,

according to flight tracking websites.

The airline and the Federal Aviation Administration said

pilots took action after receiving alerts of a potential

collision. The Southwest Boeing 737 continued to Las Vegas,

where it landed uneventfully.

The FAA is investigating.

No passengers were injured.
