The pilot of a single-engine plane walked away from a crash Saturday night after he flew into the side of a furniture truck while trying to land at an airport. There were no injuries. Damage to the plane looked extensive, and the roof of the cargo area of the truck was sheared off. Debris from the accident was scattered for hundreds of feet alongside the crash site. The plane hit the ground about 25 feet short of the runway at Sierra Sky Park. Fresno Fire Battalion Chief Chuck Tobias said it looked like the landing gear of the plane hit the truck and "sheared off a good portion of the roof." "The plane then continued for a very short distance, but crashed short of the runway."
