HOLLAND, Mich. — One person sustained minor injuries Saturday afternoon after a small plane became overturned at Tulip City Airport. Holland City Police and Fire responded to the call at 1:40 p.m. when they got word that a single engine plane had flipped over on one of the airport’s tarmacs.
The sole occupant of the plane was a 64 year-old Holland man, who sustained only minor injuries.
Strong winds are being blamed for the accident- interfering with the plane as it came in to land, eventually being pushed off the runway into the snow where it flipped onto it’s top.
