Two people were injured when a two-seat airplane crashed Saturday afternoon in Beaver County.
The crash occurred about 4:50 p.m. in the 200 block of McKenzie Road in Hanover, county emergency officials said.
A 23-year-old Hookstown man and a 24-year-old woman from Arlington, Va., were on board when the Piper J3C-65 crashed into a tree on private property, Pennsylvania State Police said.
They both were taken to Allegheny General Hospital with moderate but non-life threatening injures, according to police.
At the crash site, the small, yellow aircraft was positioned nose-down in the ground, and its tail was held up by tree limbs.
State police and the Federal Aviation Administration were investigating, officials said.
Correction, posted Sept. 19, 2017: In an earlier version of this story, the 24-year-old woman was incorrectly identified as a man.
