A crash at the Tuscaloosa Airport yesterday resulted in damages to the runway and a delay in production at the Mercedes-Benz plant in Vance.

Townsquare Media Tuscaloosa Traffic Reporter "Captain" Ray Allen said a plane carrying parts for Mercedes Benz US International was scheduled to arrive in Tuscaloosa yesterday afternoon. The plane was coming in with a very low ceiling and ran off the runway. No one was injured in the accident; however, the aircraft sustained heavy damage.

Allen also says that production at the Mercedes Benz US International plant was delayed for approximately eight (8) hours as a result of the accident.

No further details are available at this time.
