Single-engine plane crash lands at NH airport, no injuries reported

The FAA said it will investigate the crash

A single-engine plane crash landed at a New Hampshire airport on Wednesday morning, but officials say no one was injured.

The Federal Aviation Administration said a single-engine Challenger II airplane crashed at Concord Municipal Airport around 10:55 a.m.

New Hampshire State Police say the pilot, identified as 71-year-old Dana Clow of Hillsborough, was the only one on board.

Police say one of the plane's doors opened shortly after takeoff, and Clow wasn't able to close it. The issue forced the plane "into a perpetual left turn."

Clow ultimately flew over an airfield, making an emergency landing in the grass, according to state police.

The FAA said it will investigate the crash, and will post a preliminary accident report within the next day or so.

The FAA's aircraft registry confirms the registered owner of the plane is Clow. It said he took ownership of the plane just last month.
