It’s a miraculous story.

Police say a pilot from Elizabethtown-Kitley was able to walk away with just minor injuries after a small plane crash.

Lanark County OPP say they responded to the incident at the Russ Beach Airport, just east of Smiths Falls, shortly after 9 p.m. Saturday night.

A pilot had been conducting a training flight, simulating repeated takeoff and landing maneuvers, when the Cessna 172 lost power and crashed about half a kilometre from the runway.

The pilot, who was flying alone, was able to walk away.

The Transportation Safety Board was notified about the crash.
