2 avoid injury as plane crashes on Ohio runway

BOWLING GREEN, Ohio (AP) — State troopers say two people escaped uninjured when a small plane crashed during a landing attempt at a northwestern Ohio airport.

The Ohio State Highway Patrol says part of the landing gear for the single-engine prop plane locked up as the aircraft was descending on Sunday. The plane skidded off the runway and tipped to the side.

The 55-year-old pilot from Tiffin and his 55-year-old passenger from Perrysburg were able to climb out of the plane. They were not hurt.

The Federal Aviation Administration is investigating the crash.
