DURHAM (AP) — A single-engine plane has crashed in a field in central North Carolina and the two people on board managed to escape before a fire started.
WRAL-TV reports the Cessna crashed Wednesday near the Chatham-Durham county line. The names of the people on the plane were not immediately available.
A Chatham County Sheriff's spokesman says firefighters worked to put out the blaze. Aerial photos on WRAL's Web site showed a burned out nose and cockpit with part of the tail remaining.
