Ontario Provincial Police in Huron County say it was just after 5 p.m. on Thursday when officers and firefighters were called to a report of a possible plane crash in Central Huron, a largely rural municipality south of Goderich.
Provincial police say they found the plane in a farm field north of Bayfield Road near Tipperary Line, and learned that the 25-year-old pilot, who was alone in the plane, was forced to make the emergency landing in the field due to an engine problem. The plane was landed safely with no injuries and no damage, police said.
The pilot left from London and was intending to land in Goderich before returning to London, police said. The plane was set to be inspected to make sure that it was safe to return to London by air, police said.
