Two small plane crashed late this afternoon, one in Roanoke, and one at
Smith Mountain Lake.
In Roanoke, airport authorities say a small plane just a few minutes ago
made a hard landing next to the old terminal. Everyone inside apparently got
out safely.
At Smith Mountain Lake earlier this afternoon a small plane went down in the
water.
Authorities say the pilot was able to swim to shore and has been rescued.
They believe she was the only person aboard.
The accident happened just before 5 o'clock, near the Smith Mountain Lake
airport in Bedford County.
Witnesses say the plane is a Red Pacer, single engine, based at the airport.
The pilot apparently developed engine trouble and was trying to land back at
the airfield when her plane went down in the lake.
She has been taken to Roanoke Memorial Hospital. Her condition has not been
released.
