A small aircraft landed on a North Side street Monday afternoon after the pilot apparently missed a nearby runway.

San Antonio Fire Capt. Kevin Koch said a couple in their 70s were trying to land the plane at Twin Oaks Airport around 3 p.m. when a wind gust lifted the plane past the runway. It ended up in the 600 block of Heimer Road.

The couple was not seriously injured but the woman was hospitalized after complaining of back pain. No one on the ground reported injuries.

The plane was partially on the sidewalk and caused damage to some fences. Though the damage to the plane was not extensive, Koch said the wing was bent and fuel was leaking from the aircraft.

A crane was brought in to remove the plane and it was placed back onto the runway, clearing the street, around 5 p.m.

FAA officials are investigating the incident.

This is the second incident involving a small plane in San Antonio in two days. On Sunday, the pilot of an experimental small-engine aircraft died after the plane crashed.
