HARTFORD (AP) — Connecticut State Police say a small plane crashed in East Haddam, but no one was injured.

The State Police said troopers and firefighters from East Haddam responded to the Goodspeed Airport on Saturday for a report of a crash involving a single-engine, propeller plane.

The pilot and passenger in the two-seater plane were not injured.
