Small plane goes off runway after landing in Moore County

No one was injured after a small plane went off the runway at Moore County Airport on Wednesday night.

The Federal Aviation Administration said the nose gear of a single-engine Cirrus SR22 collapsed after the plane landed around 5:50 p.m.

Two people were on board the plane when it skidded off the runway. The plane's pilot, Mark Craig, said he and his passenger were OK after the crash. 

Craig said he believed the plane got caught in the downwash from a helicopter as he was landing at the airport.

Airport officials said the incident did cause a grass fire, but the fire was quickly put out.

Moore County Airport was expected to remain closed until Thursday because of the incident.
