Unbelievable cause of fatal North Carolina plane crash is revealed

The cause of a deadly plane crash in rural North Carolina was revealed to be a turtle on the runway that the pilot maneuvered to avoid. Two people were killed and one passenger was seriously injured when the small aircraft crashed near the Sugar Valley Airport in Mocksville, North Carolina, on June 3. A preliminary investigation by the National Transportation Safety Board concluded that the pilot had lifted the plane's right main wheel to avoid striking the turtle, eventually leading to the fatal crash. A communications operator had advised the pilot of the turtle before the aircraft touched down. The operator told the NTSB that the pilot landed and traveled about halfway down the runway before lifting the wheel in an attempt to avoid the turtle. The airplane then left the operator's view, and a man cutting grass reported seeing its wings 'rock back and forth.' The plane took off again and disappeared over trees. A witness then heard a 'loud crash and saw smoke,' according to the NTSB. The plane was found wedged between two trees in a heavily forested area around 255 feet away from the runway. Although the aircraft remained intact, a fire soon broke out and the plane's wings were completely burned off. The identities of the passengers have yet to be released. The Daily Mail contacted the North Carolina State Highway Patrol, which responded to the crash, for comment. The plane, a Universal Stinson 108 Voyager, was being used for a personal flight. The aircraft has a single engine and four seats. It was produced after World War II until 1950. Plane crashes involving animals are rare but do happen, with 46 recorded instances from 2012 to 2021, according to the NTSB. In April, a small aircraft carrying three people crashed on a beach in Alaska after the pilot apparently attempted to swerve the plane when a dog ran on the runway. The pilot, Daniel Bunker, 48, and another passenger, Jenny Irene Miller, 37, were killed in the crash. In April, two people were killed in a similar plane crash when a pilot attempted to avoid hitting a dog The NTSB's Clint Johnson said Bunker had initiated a 'go-around' to avoid hitting the dog. 'What we understand now is that there may have been an animal, namely a dog, that was on the runway,' he said. 'There was also another company airplane behind - he was talking to that airplane at the same time - said he was initiating the go-around, made a right turn away from the runway, pretty steep climb, and unfortunately, there was a loss of control.'
