According to the Sandusky Post of the OSHP, a Cessna 177 Cardinal piloted by a 69-year-old Liberty Township man crashed into the ground just before 11:30 a.m.

The pilot and his 67-year-old passenger, also from Liberty Township, both sustained non-life-threatening injuries, OSHP said. An air ambulance flew them to a hospital in Toledo for treatment.

No one else was injured.

The FAA has been notified of the crash, the OSHP said, and the incident remains under investigation.
