SUNRIVER, OR -- A single engine aircraft crashed as it was landing at the Sunriver airport Saturday afternoon. Emergency crews responded just after 1:30 p.m. According to Sunriver Police, the 1957 Piper had landed - with all three wheels on the ground - when a strong gust of wind pushed its left wing at an angle tht caused it to make contact with the runway. 

The plane's nose and propeller also hit the runway. The one person aboard was able to exit the aircraft uninjured. The plane was removed from the runway about an hour later and the area reopened to air traffic.

Sunriver PD notified the NTSB and FAA of the incident.
