An airplane has reportedly skidded off the south end of the runway at Benton Airpark on Monday night.
It wasn't clear how the aircraft ended up going off the runway. But emergency dispatchers asked ambulances and fire trucks to go to the small airport with lights and sirens.
The pilot, who was not hurt, was reportedly able to get out of the single-engine aircraft and walk away after the crash, according to Redding Fire Department Battalion Chief Sean Coleman.
The aircraft was badly damaged in the crash, he said.
The pilot may not have been familiar with the small airstrip because it appeared as though he came in too fast in trying to land, Coleman said.
