WILLISTON — Two men were injured but in stable condition after their small, experimental airplane crashed during an emergency landing about 20 miles south of Gainesville.
The Levy County Sheriff's Office says 65-year-old Phillip Seay Sr. and his son were flying in a 1974 airplane Sunday morning when the aircraft experienced an engine malfunction.
Seay decided to make an emergency landing in Williston. Authorities say that as the plane touched down in a sandy area, the front of the aircraft nose-dived and then landed upside down.
Both men were taken to Shands Hospital and listed in stable condition.
The sheriff's office says Federal Aviation Administration investigators are responding to the scene.
