PLAINWELL, Mich. — A pilot escaped without any serious injuries after his plane went off a runway near a busy West Michigan highway.
He said winds this afternoon caused his Cavalier plane to overshoot the runway at the Plainwell Airport near U.S. Route 131.
Kenneth Dannenberg, the pilot from Holland, said, “I am glad that I am OK and glad that it isn't worse than it is and can be repaired.”
The plane went through a fence into a ditch.
Dannenberg said, “I just ran out of runway and ideas at the same time.”
The crash did not disrupt traffic on the highway.
