Nashua Fire Rescue said it responded to a small plane crash Sunday at the Nashua Airport, also known as Boire Field.
Fire officials said the plane was attempting to land on the runway but hit the adjacent grassy area. That caused the plane to veer off the runway and travel several hundred yards before stopping in a culvert along the outer edge of the field.
Both occupants got out on their own and were uninjured.
There was no fuel leakage or hazards found.
The airport was closed until authorities were able to remove the plane.
The Nashua Airport Authority and the New Hampshire Department of Transportation will investigate the incident.
