Plane crash at Deer Valley Airport. No injuries reported when plane went off end of runway

PHOENIX — There were two mishaps involving small planes near Deer Valley Airport, but no reported injuries.

A small single-engine airplane was forced to land in the desert outside the airport Thursday after reporting engine failure.

The Piper Archer owned by the TransPac flight school landed two miles south of Carefree Highway and north of Loop 303.

The Arizona Republic says it was the second plane to make an emergency landing shortly after taking off from Deer Valley Airport on Thursday.

The first was a Cessna 172 that had a collapsed landing gear after a hard landing on the airport's runway.

It's still unclear why the first plane was forced to land or whether a student was flying the second plane.
