AUBURN — A small plane reportedly carrying four people flipped over and came to rest on its top as it made an emergency landing in a field east of Auburn.
KING-TV reported the occupants were OK after the crash shortly after 6 tonight.
Allen Kenitzer, a spokesman for the Federal Aviation Administration, told a Seattle newspaper that the single-engine plane was a Cessna 210. He did not have details on what problems the plane may have experienced to force the landing.
KOMO Radio reported the plane lost oil pressure.
The plane was reportedly headed for the Auburn airport and went down near State Route 18, about a mile north of the Auburn Adventist Academy.
Further details on the pilot and passengers, and an estimate of damage to the plane, were not immediately available.
