A UPS cargo plane went off the runway at the Alexandria Airport on Monday night, Dec. 28 and ended up in a plowed field.
Airport Manager Kreg Anderson described the incident as a “runway excursion.”
The pilot, Anderson said, lost control of the aircraft for an undetermined reason at about 7:30 p.m. The pilot, who was the sole occupant, wasn’t injured.
The plane was taken to a hangar at the airport and the incident is under investigation by the Federal Aviation Administration. A preliminary report says the aircraft experienced a “nose gear collapse subsequent to a runway overrun during an aborted takeoff attempt.”
Alexandria extends emergency declaration
Council member Todd Jensen voted against the extension. He said that approving the measure sends the wrong message to local businesses that are struggling to survive. Written By: Al Edenloff | ×
Alexandria City Hall
For the ninth time since the pandemic began, the city extended its declaration of a local emergency because of the COVID-19.
The city first ratified Mayor Sara Carlson’s declaration on March 18 and extended it monthly for nine months. This latest action extends it through Jan. 31, 2021.
Council member Todd Jensen voted against the extension. He said that approving the measure sends the wrong message to local businesses that are struggling to survive.
