A PLANE crash-landed in a Scottish field on Monday morning.
Emergency services were called to a field near Kinglassie, located around two miles from Glenrothes just before 11am.
It is understood the pilot's cockpit opened "mid-air" leading to the crash.
David McKay, of car delivery business Fife Vehicle Transport, told STV News he witnessed the crash while driving to work.
He said the pilot was "shaken" but "okay".
“He told me the cockpit opened mid-air, so he tried to shut it and that’s how he crashed," he told STV News.
“It turns out he was just on his way to work. He is very lucky to be alive to be honest. It’s a scary one.”
Officers confirmed there were no injuries from the incident.
A Police Scotland spokesperson said: “Officers were called to reports of a light aircraft crashing in a field near Kinglassie at around 10.55am on Monday, 1 August, 2022.
“There have been no reported injuries.
“Emergency services are at the scene to clear the area.”
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
