Two individuals were seriously injured on Monday morning when a small private plane crashed into a walking path near the Delaware County Regional Airport in Muncie, Indiana. According to airport officials, the incident occurred just before 10:30 a.m. when a single-engine Piper aircraft fell out of the sky while en route to the Muncie airport.
The victims, who were out walking on a trail near the airport, were struck either by the falling plane or by debris as the aircraft collided into the treeline surrounding the walking path. The pilot, who was the sole occupant of the plane, also sustained serious injuries and had to be extricated from the wreckage by first responders.
