It marks the third small aircraft crash in as many months across the state — the second this month.
Officers were called to the first block of Pleasant Grove Road at 5:32 p.m. on Thursday, March 20, where they found a Maule M-7 aircraft overturned on the pilot’s property, according to Acting Police Chief Sgt. Jason Rimby.
The pilot sustained a minor injury, police said.
Crews from Gibraltar Fire Company, Geigertown Fire Company, Birdsboro-Union Fire Department, and Tower Direct EMS responded to the crash.
The Federal Aviation Administration and National Transportation Safety Board are now investigating.
This crash follows two other high-profile incidents in Pennsylvania:
- A plane crashed into a neighborhood in Philadelphia on Friday, Jan. 31.
- Another went down in Lancaster County on Sunday, March 9, narrowly missing homes in a retirement community.
