Night landing
4:19 a.m. — 700 Block of Airport Road. Plane crash. A police officer was called to the Ormond Beach Municipal Airport. Dispatch reported that when an aircraft was landing, the left propeller struck a deer that was on the runway. The impact caused the front landing gear to collapse.
The officer made contact with the pilot and three passengers and they said no one was injured. The control tower is not manned at that time of night, so the officer contacted Daytona Beach International Airport because it can communicate with aircraft landing at the Ormond Beach airport, the incident report stated. The officer also parked his car behind the plane with emergency lights activated to prevent another plane from landing.
The airport manager arrived to determine the best way to remove the aircraft from the runway. He said he would contact the FAA.
