A plane made an emergency landing in a field near Schriever Air Force Base, off of Highway 94 and Peyton Highway.
At around 2:15 p.m. Saturday, the El Paso County Sheriff's Office "received multiple reports of an aircraft in distress," according to a release. The Cirrus SR22 plane landed using its fuselage parachute after the pilot experienced oil pressure issues and then lost all power en route to the Colorado Springs Airport.
The plane's engine sustained damage.
There were three people in the plane, according to the release. The pilot was taken to the hospital by ambulance with minor injuries, and other two passengers were carried by helicopter to the hospital.
No further information was available about the passengers' injuries.
