A small plane crashed near South Pittsburg, Tenn., on the state line between Jackson County, Ala., and Marion County late Tuesday afternoon.
The passengers, a man and a woman, sustained minor injuries and were attended to by emergency responders. At 6 p.m. the plane still could be seen from Highway 72 on its top in a field just south of the Tennessee state line.
Chief Deputy Rocky Harnen with the Jackson County Sheriff's Office said the pilot tried to put the plane down in the field but the aircraft flipped.
This is the second reported plane crash today in the Chattanooga region.
Authorities say a small plane with three people aboard has crashed in the mountains of eastern Tennessee, and no one survived.
