Cessna 172: Three Escape Plane Crash With Minor Injuries. Randolph County, West Virginia.





A plane goes down in Randolph County and, luckily, all three passengers escape without any serious injuries.

It happened after 11 a.m. Saturday when Troopers say a Cessna 172, a small four passenger plane, crashed into the woods in the Pond Lick area of Chenoweth Creek Road, outside of Elkins.

Police and fire crews combed the area for hours on foot and ATVs and found the plane. The male pilot and his male and female passengers all escaped the plane with only minor injuries. They are all said to be from the Parkersburg area, to which the plane was returning.

The Federal Aviation Administration has been called in from Charleston to investigate the cause of the accident.

The Elkins detachment of the State Police responded to the call as well as the Randolph County Sheriff's Department, Elkins and Beverly Fire Departments and Randolph County EMS.
