A propeller aircraft ran into the ground at 17.40 on Friday and ended up in the ditch after an emergency landing attempt.

"The plane has declared distress in the air and we were able to follow it on the radar," says Lars Nilsson, assistant flight rescue manager at the Swedish Maritime Administration's Maritime and Air Rescue Center.

The plane would land on the road at Gamla Enköpingsvägen between Bro and Kungsängen. Only the pilot was in the plane.

- The person is at a good vigor. Shocked, but taken care of by ambulance personnel, says Lars Nilsson.

Suspected of drunk driving

The person was taken to hospital for control. He will also undergo sampling when he is suspected of drunk driving.

The area around the accident site was blocked off while police and emergency services worked on the scene, but since 19, there has been full accessibility and the barriers have been claimed.

The plane will be transported away by its owner.

The Accident Investigation Board has been notified of the accident.
