Crop dusting plane crash-lands in ditch near Hutchinson, officials say
A pilot crash landed a small plane in a ditch southwest of Hutchinson on Wednesday, officials said.
The plane crash landed at Centennial Road and Mills Avenue along U.S. 50 about a mile north of Partridge, the Reno County Sheriff’s Office said in a tweet. No injuries were reported.
The 24-year-old Arkansas man flying the plane told state troopers he was crop dusting in the area when the Air Tractor AT-301 had a sudden power loss and he crash landed into a ditch, a Kansas Highway Patrol crash report states.
The plane is registered to Phoenix Equipment in Nickerson, FAA records show.
