An Arizona man was injured after he crashed a small plane in eastern Kansas.
Fifty-six-year-old Mark Sherman, of Chandler, Ariz., suffered a
broken back in the crash.
The Kansas Highway Patrol says Sherman was the pilot of the
single-engine Lancair IV Propjet that lost power while he was
attempting to land at Allen County Airport on Wednesday.
The patrol says Sherman approached from the south, but had to
circle the area while another plane was on the runway.
The plane landed 200 feet northeast of the runway. It skidded
for about 50 yards until the wheels and tailsection broke off the
aircraft. The crash also caused a fire that engulfed the plane.
Sherman was treated at Allen County Hospital and later
transferred to a hospital in Wichita with a cracked vertebra.
