A small aircraft crashed near Royal Kunia Country Club in Kunia around noon today, injuring two men, one seriously, according to the Honolulu Fire Department.

Paramedics treated a 22-year-old man for a head injury and transported him to a hospital in serious condition. A 38-year-old man sustained a minor arm injury but declined further medical care, EMS said.

HFD received a 911 call at around 12 p.m. and dispatched 14 units with approximately 50 personnel to the crash site near 94-1509 Anonui St. The first unit arrived eight minutes later.  The aircraft, identified as a Piper Cherokee, landed in bushes but did not catch fire. Both occupants were able to exit the plane without assistance.

Firefighters airlifted the two men to a designated landing zone using Air 1, and EMS assumed medical care at 12:37 p.m.
