POPLAR GROVE — No one was injured, but a van was damaged Saturday afternoon when a plane was landing at the Poplar Grove Airport, 11619 Illinois Route 76.

The crash occurred at 12:37 p.m. on Orth Road just east of Illinois Route 76.

A woman was driving a van westbound on Orth Road when a Cessna 140 airplane hit the roof of the van with one of its tires.

The plane was coming in for a landing, said Boone County Sheriff Sgt. Dan Reid. 

The tire damaged the top of the van and the windshield, Reid said.

The plane carried the pilot and one passenger. 

The woman had child passengers in her van, Reid said.

The plane landed safely.

The Boone County Sheriff's Department completed an accident report, Reid said, and turned it over to the Federal Aviation Administration.
