KALAMAZOO, MI – Officials at the Kalamazoo/Battle Creek International Airport were checking into a small aircraft that was damaged and leaking fuel late Wednesday morning.

Emergency responders were dispatched to the airport at about 11:25 a.m. Upon arriving, they reported that a small plane was leaking fuel at the south end of the airport and its landing gear was collapsed.

No injuries were reported and no flames or smoke were visible.

There was no immediate word on whether the private plane was preparing to take off, or whether it had just landed.

The extent of the fuel leak was not immediately known.
