<p>The Federal Aviation Administration is investigating after a small plane crashed in Ohio.</p>
<p>A 2021 Hatz Bantam biplane was attempting to land on the southern runway at Sandusky County Regional Airport around 6:45 p.m. on Tuesday, Aug. 12, the agency said.</p>
<p>As the plane touched down, it made a hard landing and veered off the runway, causing the landing gear to collapse, the FAA said.</p>
<p>A 78-year-old man operating the plane was uninjured, the Ohio State Highway Patrol said in a news release. The pilot was wearing a seatbelt harness and eye goggles at the time of the crash. No other people were on board.</p>
<p>Investigators do not believe impairment was involved in the incident and did not find any hazardous materials on the plane.</p>
<p>Sandusky County Regional Airport is a county-owned public-use airport near Fremont, about 87 miles west of Cleveland.</p>
<p>Another similar plane incident happened in Montana</p>
<p>The incident comes a day after a small Socata TBM 700 crashed into multiple planes while attempting to land at an airport in Kalispell, Montana.</p>
<p>The pilot of the jet, which had four people aboard, lost control of the aircraft and crashed onto the runway, striking several parked airplanes and igniting fires on numerous aircraft.</p>
<p>No injuries were reported.</p>
