NORTH BEND, Ore. (AP) — A small corporate plane skidded off a
runway and into the water in southern Oregon Monday, injuring
five people, officials said.
The aircraft left the runway in North Bend at the Southwest
Oregon Regional Airport and went into Coos Bay just before 6:15
a.m. Monday, the airport said in a social media post.
The pilot and four passengers that were on the plane were
rescued, taken to a hospital and all were in stable condition,
the airport said. On Monday evening, the airport said two people
had been released from the hospital, one was admitted, another
was still undergoing evaluation and the fifth person was
transferred out of the area for further treatment.
The 2019 Honda HA-420 was removed from the water after
authorization from the National Transportation Safety Board, the
airport said.
The plane was coming to Oregon from St. George, Utah, The World
