OGDEN, Utah — A small plane crashed at the Ogden-Hinckley Airport Tuesday afternoon, and the pilot was luckily able to walk away from the accident with only minor injuries.

Ogden Police said the single-engine crop duster airplane crashed on one of the airport's runways around 1 p.m.

The pilot and sole occupant of the plane was able to get out of the plane on their own. Officials said the pilot "was not seriously injured" but, as a precaution, was taken to the hospital for evaluation.

The Ogden Fire Department secured the scene in case of a potential fuel spill. The response temporarily impacted airport operations.

The Federal Aviation Administration will investigate the cause of the crash.
