CHESAPEAKE, Va. (WAVY) - State Police say a single-engine plane taxiing out of a local airport ran into a ditch Thursday night.
According to Michelle Anaya with Virginia State Police, the incident happened at approximately 8:30 p.m. at the Chesapeake-Portsmouth Airport, 5000 West Military Highway.
The pilot, who spoke with WAVY.com off-camera, said there was a light out on the airstrip and he did not see where he was going, landing into a ditch.
No one was injured and the National Transportation Safety Board will treat it as an incident, not an accident.
