ST. IGNATIUS —Federal Aviation Administration officials investigated an airplane crash at the St. Ignatius Airport on Tuesday, Dec. 24.
Rick Newman, airfield mechanic who helped respond to the accident, said the plane veered off the runway, hit a snow berm and flipped upside down during an attempted landing shortly after 1:30 p.m.
The two occupants of the Cessna 152 did not sustain major injuries. Mechanical failure was not thought to be the cause of the crash, Newman said.
The plane is registered to Jack Hiland of Ronan.
