Two people were on board the plane when it crashed, and were checked out on the scene by Fire and EMS.
They were transported to the Cleveland Clinic Akron General and Akron Children’s Hospital with non-life-threatening injuries, said the Brimfield Police Department in a Facebook post.
The plane was built in 1944, according to the FAA registry, making the plane over 80 years old.
Instead of having wheels, the plane had skis for a landing gear, which helps to distribute the plane’s weight evenly and to absorb impact during landings.
Police said there were no reports of property damage or injuries on the ground.
It is unclear where the plane took off from or where the plane was headed at the time of the crash.
