Shortly before 11 a.m., a PulsePoint alert was sent out in Marin County indicating a small plane crash had occurred at 451 Airport Rd. in Novato where Gnoss Field is located.
Aerial footage showed Novato firefighters along with air field crews at the scene of the incident. The small plane was nose down at the edge of what appeared to be a drainage ditch along the runway. The aircraft did not appear to have suffered any serious damage.
So far, there is no word on any injuries related to the incident. CBS News Bay Area has contacted authorities for additional information. A Marin County Sheriff’s Department official said he had no details about the plane or any damage, other than that a propeller was damaged. He didn’t know if the plane was landing or taking off.
Gnoss Field was the site of a fatal small plane crash in late August when a Mayer Aero Commander 200D aircraft crashed into a hangar on the field. The sheriff’s office coroner’s division later confirmed the pilot has been identified as 75-year-old Redding resident Jeffrey Buren Khahling.
