Small plane crashes while landing near Chesapeake Bay Bridge in Maryland
A small plane crashed Wednesday morning while landing at an airport near the Chesapeake Bay Bridge, according to Queen Anne's County officials.
The plane's pilot, the only person on board, was not injured, though the four-seat Cirrus aircraft 'sustained significant damage' at the Bay Bridge Airport in Stevensville, according to Queen Anne's County public information manager Beth Malasky.
Malasky said that as the aircraft was landing, it 'veered off the side of the runway into a marshy area, coming to rest partially in the water.'
She said that there was no damage to the airport's runway, though it would be closed as federal and state aviation authorities investigated the crash.
