WINDSOR, Calif. - A small aircraft made an emergency landing into the middle of a vineyard Saturday, according to the Sonoma County Sheriff.
The crash landing happened around 3:25 p.m. after the Santa Rosa Airport Tower reported a Cessna 172 had engine failure, the sheriff's office posted on Facebook.
Crews were initially told the plane was going to attempt a landing near the Windsor Gold Course. When the tower was unable to reach the pilot on the radio, they used an emergency helicopter to locate the crashed plane.
