1 hospitalized, 1 missing after twin-engine plane makes emergency landing at RDU

MORRISVILLE, N.C. (WTVD) – A twin-engine cargo plane made an emergency landing Friday at RDU after reported landing-gear issues, and a search is underway for a person who jumped from it before the landing.

 

The CASA C-212 Aviocar, made in Spain in 1983 landed on Runway 5R-23L about 2:40 p.m. and veered into the grass.

 

RDU first responders said that the pilot on board was taken to Duke Hospital with minor injuries.

 

The pilot told authorities that a passenger aboard jumped out before the landing attempt. The jumper was initially thought to have exited the plane toward a body of water near West Lake Middle School in Apex. Authorities were actively searching for that person, who was believed to have jumped without a parachute, according to Darshan Patel, the Operations Manager for Wake County Emergency ManagementWake EMS.
