A Cessna Citation departed Bedford County Airport around 10:30 a.m. bound for the Baltimore area before crashing and catching fire.
The aircraft struck a fence, lost a wheel and skidded across Belden Drive into a nearby field; both pilots escaped with non‑life‑threatening injuries, were treated at a local hospital, one has been released and both are expected to make a full recovery, and the FAA and NTSB are continuing the investigation while the airport manager said the airport is cooperating and the FAA has not yet released a preliminary crash report.
