WEST CHESTER, Pa. — A pilot crash-landed his single-engine plane upside down in a field Saturday but escaped serious injury because he was wearing his seat belt, authorities said.
The plane suddenly turned upside down just before crashing, said Carol Hardy, a state police dispatcher. She said the pilot walked away from the wreckage and did not require medical attention.
Authorities were investigating the cause of the crash.
