BLAINE, Minn. (KMSP) - One person was injured when a plane crashed at the Anoka County Airport in Blaine, Minnesota Thursday morning. 

The plane crashed and caught fire while approaching the runway at 11:05 a.m. Two people driving by the airport saw the crash occur and jumped over the fence to render aid to the pilot, according to Blaine Police Chief Brian Podany. 

The pilot, a 65-year-old man from Ham Lake, suffered serious injuries and was transported to Hennepin Healthcare. 

The pilot’s identity has not been released, but Podany said he has more than 20 years of flight experience and flies weekly.
