NORTH BEND, Ore. — A small corporate plane skidded off a runway and into the water in southern Oregon Monday, injuring five people, officials said.
The aircraft left the runway in North Bend at the Southwest Oregon Regional Airport and went into Coos Bay just before 6:15 a.m. Monday, the airport said in a social media post.
