A few flights were delayed after a small plane landed hard and went off the runway Wednesday afternoon at University Park Airport.

Airport personnel notified the Federal Aviation Administration and National Transportation Safety Board, which gave authorization to remove the plane at about 2:15 p.m.
The plane was towed off the runway by about 3 p.m.

A runway at State College’s University Park Airport was closed for about two hours Wednesday after an incoming plane “experienced a hard landing," a spokeswoman said.
No one was injured in the landing, she said.
It was about 1:25 p.m. when the Piper PA-34-220T landed poorly at the airport on Fox Hill Road, according to a statement shared by Penn State spokeswoman Lisa Powers.
In the incident, the plane’s landing gear collapsed, causing it to move from the runway into a nearby grassy area, the statement said.
At the time, four people were on the plane. They were not injured, and none of the plane’s fuel leaked, according to the statement.
“Penn State Police responded to the scene as a precaution,” the statement read, adding that the Federal Aviation Administration and the National Transportation Safety Board also were informed.
Officials with those organizations eventually authorized the plane’s removal, the statement said.
After the two hour closure, the runway reopened but not before one flight was rerouted and two others were delayed, according to the statement.
“Life Flight helicopters were still able to take off and land,” the statement read.
