BRAINERD, Minn. – A plane crash has injured two people near Brainerd.
Crow Wing County Sheriff Scott Goddard says the small plane crashed at a private grass airstrip late Wednesday morning. Goddard says the plane with two people aboard was coming in for a landing when too much brake was applied, causing the plane to nose dive at a slow rate of speed.
The pilot had a laceration on the forehead and was taken by ambulance to an emergency room. The passenger suffered minor cuts and scratches.
The Federal Aviation Administration is investigating the crash.
