Three Suffer Minor Injuries in Central Phoenix Plane Emergency Landing

Police closed a stretch of 7th Street for aircraft removal following a water main break.

Overview

  • A small general-aviation plane came down just south of 7th Street and Missouri Avenue in central Phoenix.
  • Phoenix Fire said the three people on board had only minor injuries, and none needed hospitalization.
  • Fire crews reported the landing ruptured a water main but did not hit any cars or buildings.
  • Phoenix Police shut 7th Street from Missouri to Colter for several hours as crews worked to remove the aircraft, urging drivers to avoid the area.
  • No cause has been released, and routine FAA and NTSB reviews typically follow incidents like this, following an earlier small-plane crash on April 8 near the Cave Creek landfill that left two people hospitalized.
