GREENVILLE COUNTY, S.C. (WSPA) – Officials said a plane made an emergency landing in a field in Greenville County Thursday evening.

Emergency management said the plane flipped when the pilot made the emergency landing.

Jessica Stumpf said the two people had just refueled at the Pickens County Airport and were heading towards Hendersonville.
No injuries were reported.

Stumpf said the Glassy Mountain Fire District was in charge of the scene.
“Mirace tonight, for sure, and we’re very grateful for that,” said Stumpf.
