SEDONA, Ariz. — The Sedona Airport runway is closed and two people were taken to the hospital after a small plane crashed at the airport on Sunday morning, according to Sedona Fire.

The Federal Aviation Administration, which is investigating the crash, said the Cessna C182 landed on a runway at the airport, veered off the runway, clipped a parked aircraft, struck a fuel truck and then flipped over at 8:30 a.m.

The crash closed the runway at the airport, forcing flights into Sedona to be diverted.
