Authorities say that a pilot has sustained minor injuries after a plane crash in Alabaster.
The Shelby County Airport confirmed the plane had crashed in the 900 block of 10th Street Southwest in Alabaster Wednesday afternoon. Alabaster Police began receiving 9-1-1 calls around 2 p.m.
The plane appears to have clipped a tree before coming to land upside down in the backyard of a home. A van was damaged in the landing. The pilot was taken to UAB to be treated for minor injuries.
Nic Fisher says that he and his mother saw the crash happen and that they ran to the scene before EMS were able to arrive.
"When [the pilot] crashed we ran over there," Fisher said. "And then we had him out...he had a bump on his head."
Fisher says that the pilot told him the fuel injector in the plane may have failed though an official cause of the crash is still unknown. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is on the way to the scene to begin their investigation.
