SISTERS Two Bend residents were injured Wednesday when their single-engine plane hit a treetop and crashed in a field while trying to land at Sisters Eagle Airport, Deschutes County sheriff’s deputies said.
Deschutes County 911 dispatchers received a report just before 5:45 p.m. of a plane crash into a field, Sgt. Jayson Janes said, according to KTVZ.
Deputies arrived in about two minutes and learned two people had been in the plane at the time of the crash and got out on their own afterward, Janes said.
The pilot, a 23-year-old woman, was taken to a local hospital with injuries not considered life-threatening, Janes said.
