No one was injured when a small plane made an emergency landing this afternoon in a pasture just south of Doublehead Resort in Lawrence County.
Officials from Colbert and Lawrence counties rushed to the scene after a call came in of a possible plane crash. Calls started coming into 911 just before 1 p.m.
"The call came in from Lawrence County that a small plane was flying low near Doublehead and may have crashed," Colbert County Emergency Management Agency Director Mike Melton said. "No one knew if it crashed or not, until some emergency personnel got there."
Melton said apparently the plane had gotten water in its fuel.
The landing was just south of a small bridge off Foster Mill Road that runs by Doublehead Resort.
"Apparently, it may have had a hard landing, because some local pilots that live in that area said they heard it when it landed," Lawrence County Sheriff Gene Mitchell said. "I'm just glad no one was hurt, and everything is OK."
