A pilot is lucky to have escaped serious harm after a plane taking off at Gunnedah Airport crashed into grass this afternoon.
Emergency services were called to the facility shortly before 2pm.
It’s understood the plane hit a pile of roadworks on the runway before toppling onto its wing and leaking fuel.
Gunnedah Airport was closed for a short period as HAZMAT teams worked to clear the spillage.
No one was hurt in the incident.
