(what sounded like a landing gear issue, must have turned out to be something else for him to come up that short of the runway)

ROY, Utah — Two people were on board a small plane when it crashed into a the front yard of a Roy home Wednesday afternoon, near the Ogden-Hinckley Airport.

The two people onboard the plane were taken to area hospitals with minor injuries."She was the one who came out, tried to offer them water, they said because they were in shock that they couldn't get any water or anything right now, but she came out and she saw the gentleman had a cut on his eye or above it on his head and then the young lady just looked like she was in shock," said Baugh.

Nearby neighbors like Pat Bouwhuis say they heard the crash as well.

"I thought a house had exploded or something and I came out front and I saw the airplane over in the driveway two doors down" said Bouwhuis.

Bouwhuis says she has lived in the neighborhood for 62 years and never seen anything like this.

"Not this close, No, no, never," said Bouwhuis.

Sgt. Josh Taylor with the Roy City Police Department says the plane crash did cause damage to one home in the area, as well as damage to some nearby trees. He says there were no other injuries other than the occupants of the plane.
