A plane made a crash landing in Northeast Amarillo around 5:45 this afternoon.

What's most interesting and amazing is, not only were there no fatalities, all five people on board are being treated for just minor injuries.

It landed in an area of Potter County owned by Xcel Energy, but leased out to the LX Ranch.

The pilot, 38 year-old Robert Corcoran, had to make an unexpected landing with the 1978 single engine cessna.

DPS authorities say the plane's front wheel caught a ravine and snapped, and that sent the plane flipping onto its back.

The crash will now be investigated by the FAA and the National Transportation Safety Board.

We'll bring you more on this developing story as it becomes available.
