Small Plane Crashes at Quad-City Airport in IL
MOLINE, Ill. (AP) -- Officials say no one was seriously hurt when a small plane overturned while landing at the Quad-City International Airport in Moline.

WQAD-TV says the accident happened about 11 a.m. Thursday. An overnight storm dumped several inches of snow in the area.

Emergency officials say the two men on board were walking around the plane. They were taken to a hospital.

Airport spokesman Bryan Johnson says the plane went off the runway and flipped in the snow. Johnson says the cause of the incident is under investigation, but he says the pilot reported ice on the wing.

The men's names have not been released.
WQAD says online flight records indicate the flight originated at Chicago Midway Airport and was bound for the Quad Cities.
