Ohio plane lands, flips; 2 suffer minor injuries

BOWLING GREEN, Ohio (AP) -- The State Highway Patrol says two Michigan men suffered minor injuries when their small plane crashed in northwest Ohio as they were attempting a touch-and-go landing at a small airport.

The patrol's Bowling Green post says the aircraft's nose struck the ground, flipping the plane on its top Thursday morning.

The patrol said the two men on board the small Cessna plane were student pilot Christopher L. Sackett and instructor Daniel C. Walker, both from Michigan. A patrol dispatcher said the hometowns for 46-year-old Sackett and 49-year-old Walker were not immediately available.

The dispatcher says the two men were treated at the scene for minor injuries.

The crash is under investigation.

A small plane crashed today at the Wood County Regional Airport. 

Authorities say after a small plane had landed and was taxiing on the runway the brakes on the plane stuck causing the plane to flip over.

The two men on board of the plane managed to walk away from the plane with no injuries. The crash did not cause the airport to close at any point. Ohio Highway Patrol is looking into the incident.
