However, local authorities had not publicly confirmed the incident or reported any injuries at the time of publication. A small aircraft was reportedly involved in a crash near Buffalo Municipal Airport in Buffalo, Minnesota, on Sunday, September 27.
It further reported that responders were dealing with a fuel leak. These are preliminary reports, authorities have not yet confirmed the reported crash or the details of the response. At the time of publication, there was no publicly confirmed statement from local authorities establishing the number of people involved, injuries, the cause of the reported crash or the extent of any damage.
The alert also claimed that two people were trapped underneath the aircraft and were being extricated. HT.com could not independently verify those details. This remains a developing story. Information about injuries, the aircraft, the circumstances of the incident and airport operations could change as emergency responders and local authorities provide verified updates.
The initial information came from the scanner alert account @alertpage, which reported an aircraft crash near 1309 County Road 134 Northeast in Wright County. The two social media reports therefore provide preliminary information, but they do not establish the condition of anyone who may have been involved.
