UPDATE: Plane overshoots runway, skids into field near Michigan City Municipal Airport
Sarah Reese MICHIGAN CITY — Two people suffered minor injuries early Wednesday after a small private jet crashed while attempting to land at the Michigan City Municipal Airport, officials said. The pilot overshot the runway, hit a fence in the area of U.S. 20 and U.S. 35, skidded across a highway, took out a guardrail and continued about 300 yards into a field, said Tony Drzewiecki, spokesman for the Michigan City Fire Department. Emergency personnel arrived and found the pilot and a passenger already had exited the twin-engine jet. They were treated for minor injuries by LaPorte County Emergency Medical Services. The aircraft sustained heavy damage, Drzewiecki said. It was unclear whether the weather was a factor. The National Transportation Safety Board was notified, officials said. |
