WILLIAMSBURG, Va. — A single-engine plane made a crash landing in Williamsburg but both pilot and passenger escaped injury.
Williamsburg Fire Department spokesman Eric Stone said the plane went down shortly before 11 a.m. Monday near Richmond Road after the aircraft experienced engine trouble.
He said the pilot was apparently attempting to land in a field, but clipped a two-story parking garage then landed the heavily damaged plane in the parking lot of a strip mall.
Stone said the plane was en route from West Point, Va., to Jamestown. He said no one was injured on the ground.
The names of the pilot and passenger were not immediately available. Stone said the plane was destroyed in the crash.
