A Piper PA-28-180 Cherokee C crashed after landing at the airport, according to airport manager Tony Hann. The pilot, whose information was not available, was not injured.

According to Hann, a gust of wind sent the plane over.

“He came down and landed,” he said. “A gust of wind from the side pushed him to the side.”
