PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) – A small private plane attempting to land at an Oregon airport skidded off the runway and into a body of water, leaving 5 people injured.

The plane attempted to touch down just after 6 a.m. Monday morning, authorities at the Southwest Oregon Regional Airport, in North Bend, said. But the aircraft left Runway 23 and skidded into a bay bordering the airfield.

The five people on board one pilot, four passengers were rescued and transported to a nearby hospital, according to airport officials.

“The hospital has confirmed all five individuals sustained minor injuries and were stable,” a representative of the airport wrote in a social media post shared late on Monday night. At the time, four of the five people had already been discharged, according to the post.

The plane itself, a 2019 Honda HA-420, ended up around 100 feet from the end of the runway. It was pulled from the water by a crane at around 10 a.m. on Monday, airport officials said.

Operations at the airport were temporarily disrupted amid the rescue and recovery efforts.

The National Transportation Safety Bureau is said to be investigating the cause of the incident.
