Walton County Fire Rescue, Florida -
Walton County Fire Rescue EMS assisted City of DeFuniak Springs Fire Department this afternoon after heavy crosswinds caused a plane at DeFuniak Springs Airport to leave the runway.
The pilot was attempting to takeoff at the time and a wind gust caused the Cirrus SR22T GTS G6 platinum to veer hard to the right off the runway.
Fortunately, the pilot was not injured and fuel was not disrupted.
