The pilot of a small plane was injured Saturday during an emergency landing in an empty field in Marana.
Shortly after 11:20 a.m., Pima County Sheriff’s deputies responding to the field north of Trico and Hardin roads found the plane upside down and the pilot in the area.
The pilot, who was alert and conscious, escaped from the plane after suffering non-life threatening injuries, the department said. They were enroute to Marana from Chandler.
The Federal Aviation Administration and National Transportation Safety Board are conducting further investigation of the incident.
