The pilot of an ultralight aircraft escaped injury Saturday morning when he was forced to make an emergency landing in a field along the San Joaquin River.
The pilot collapsed the landing gear of the plane when he brought the plane down near Milburn Avenue and the river in northwest Fresno. The crash happened about 10 a.m. and sent firefighters and other emergency workers speeding to the area.
Battalion Chief Chuck Tobias said the pilot "did a very good job of bringing the plane down."
At the crash site, a man who said he was the pilot but declined to identify himself said he took off from nearby Sierra Sky Park just a few minutes before the engine began cutting out, forcing him to make the landing. He said damage to the aircraft appeared to be limited to the landing gear.
