If that tree hadn't caught the plane there would have been serious injuries, at the very least.

PLAINVILLE-- A pilot suffered only minor injuries after a plane crashed near Robertson Field Airport on Monday.

The crash occurred at 11:25 a.m., when the plane veered off the runway, according to the FAA.

The plane landed in a tree in the parking lot of Carling Technologies.

The plane was a 1981 single engine Cessna 172 model owned by Interstate Aviation Inc., which is run out of Robertson Airport. The pilot, Manfred Forst, was transported to The Hospital of Central CT with what appeared to be minor injuries. He has been discharged.
