Minor injuries in Ramona plane crash

A small plane crashed at the Ramona Airport Saturday morning, leaving the pilot with only minor cuts, authorities said.

The two-seater crashed near the Cal Fire helicopter landing pad at the airport just after 10 a.m., sheriff’s officials said. The 56-year-old pilot, who was alone in the plane, walked away from the crash, and no one was injured on the ground.

The cause of the crash was under investigation.

A Federal Aviation Administration spokesman said the Ballanca aircraft ran off the runway just after landing. He had no other information about the aircraft.

Sheriff’s authorities did not release the pilot’s name.
