Pilot, passenger not injured after plane crashes into field

Officials are saying the two people in the plane that crashed in Greene County Thursday morning are "lucky" that they were not injured.

Greene County Emergency Services director Berry Anderson says the FAA and the NTSB have been notified and will be investigating.

Anderson says the crash happened just before 6 a.m. on Oakdale Road in Snow Hill.

He said the aircraft did flip upon landing, while the plowed up field helped it land since the ground was softer.

The FAA says the Cessna 150 single-engine aircraft left Raleigh East Airport and was headed to Kinston.

It is registered to Patrick Tobler of Wake Forest.

The Shine Fire Department and other law enforcement officials also responded to the scene.
