Fox News
A pilot crash-landed a plane Sunday afternoon at a California golf course, narrowly avoiding a bystander. He was not injured, fire authorities confirmed.
Sacramento Fire Department spokesperson Capt. Justin Sylvia told Fox News Digital that the pilot said he experienced mechanical failure and the plane lost power. The pilot explained that at about 400 feet, he decided to land on the fairway of the golf course, Sylvia said. The pilot got out of the plane and only suffered a "minor laceration to his hand," Sylvia added.
"He picked a golf course, which is a pretty good location – nice and open," Sylvia told local FOX40. "It’s very fortunate that no one was injured, including the pilot."
