Video: Lebanon police release body camera footage from plane crash near elementary school

The Lebanon Police Department has released video showing an officer’s response to a small plane crash near an elementary school earlier this month.

The aircraft made an emergency landing near Byars Dowdy Elementary School shortly after taking off from Lebanon Municipal Airport, police said.

Body-camera and dash-camera footage from the first officer on scene shows the officer locating the pilot, who said he was the only person aboard.

When asked what happened, the pilot told the officer the aircraft’s engine “cut out.”
