MUNCIE, Ind. (AP) — A pilot and two pedestrians were hurt Monday when a small plane missed an airport runway in Indiana and crashed onto a trail, authorities said.
Two of the three people injured including the pilot suffered serious injuries and were expected to be transferred to an Indianapolis hospital from the Muncie hospital where all three had been taken, authorities said. The condition of the third person was not immediately available.
A Piper Cherokee traveling from Bloomington crashed at 10:24 a.m. about half a mile (0.80 kilometers) from a runway approach at Delaware County Regional Airport, Tim Baty, director of the Delaware County Airport Authority, told a news conference. The pilot was the only person aboard.
Two people on the Cardinal Greenway rail trail also were injured, Baty said.
The names of those injured were not immediately released.
The pilot was entrapped in the plane wreckage before he could be recued, Muncie Fire Chief Dan Burford said.
A fire in the plane’s tail and debris was put out by nearby American Electric Power employees with fire extinguishers, Baty said.
Federal Aviation Administration and National Transportation Safety Board officials arrived on the scene to investigate, he said.
