A plane slid off the runway at the Springdale Municipal Airport Wednesday afternoon crashing into a fence.

The student pilot was taxiing down the runway preparing to take off when the plane went off the runway according to James Hales, battalion chief with the Springdale fire department. Hales added a fence saved the plane from falling into a ditch.

The fire department was called out to the scene just in case of a fire while airport employees pulled the plane from the ditch, Hales said.

No one was injured in the accident.
