WESTMINSTER, Md. — Carroll County Emergency Operations received a call for an airplane crash Monday evening at the Clearview Airpark, on 526 Oak Tree Rd.

The pilot overshot the runway, landing in a grassy field east of the runway. The plane then struck a tree at the edge of a field and came to a rest.

The pilot and passenger were taken to Carroll Hospital Center for treatment.
