WESTFIELD, Ind. (WISH) - A plane crash in Westfield has sent one to the hospital Saturday.

A man escaped serious injury after his plane flipped over during take-off today.

The crash happened just after noon at the Wheeler Airport located at 18036 Dartown Road, according to a release.

The plane was heading down the runway when a gust of wind made it difficult to handle. The man tried to keep the plane on the ground but it suddenly flipped over.

Fellow pilots rushed over to help the man out of the plane.

Paramedics arrived shortly after. The patient was taken to a nearby hospital with minor injuries.

The Federal Aviation Administration arrived and began their investigation around 4 p.m.
