Yesterday morning mergency crews were called to the Butler-Graham Airport in Butler County for a plane crash .
According to the paper, officials said the private jet overshot the runway during landing and crashed behind the Penn Township Fire Department.
The twin-engine Lear Jet landed on its belly and caught fire. The tail snapped off and tore a fence down.
The plane is an air ambulance belonging to a company called AirTrek, which is an air medical transport out of PuntaGorda, Fla.
Four people were on board. The police report said they suffered minor injuries and were transported to Butler Hospital where they were treated and released.
Three Degree Road is closed while crews investigate the crash.
The airport is shut down and the FAA is at the scene.
This is just a couple miles from us. It was all detoured traffic last night. We took the scenic tour home.

After I dropped some stuff off for Charlie I went down Three Degree and got into the detour too. I had heard about the crash on the news, but forgot about it until I was right there at the detour. It looked like it must have landed on the road. It was all messy looking right next to the fire hall.
