Three people walked away without injuries after an unusual crash Sunday evening in Butler County.
The Kansas Highway Patrol says a 1943 Boeing aircraft, piloted by 68-year-old Ryan Stewart of Benton, was making a short approach to the south runway at Stearman Field just after 5 p.m.
As it descended, the plane’s landing gear struck a Toyota Corolla driven by 71-year-old Rebeca Rodriguez, who was traveling east on a nearby roadway. The impact caused the aircraft to hit the ground and flip onto its top.
Both Stewart, his passenger, and Rodriguez were unharmed. The accident remains under investigation.
