A landing gear wheel on a twin-engine Cessna gave way upon landing this afternoon at Asheville Regional Airport, causing a fuel tank to rupture.
No one was injured in the 1:27 p.m. incident, according to airport spokeswoman Tina Kinsey. The Cessna 310 has three landing gear, and the wheel on the right side of the plane is the one that collapsed.
“The plane had to be removed from the runway,” Kinsey said. “The runway reopened at 2:26 p.m. A few flights were impacted with slight delays.”
A pilot and one passenger were on board. A fuel tank on the wing tip ruptured, but no fire resulted, Kinsey said.
No further information was available.
