Ah...you live there, so that explains it! Right place, right time eh? A steering problem makes sense to me...I didn't think it looked snowy enough for super slick conditions.

I live in Somerset, KY and was driving northbound on KY27 when I looked over to the airport and saw the police car next to the Metro in the ditch and thought hey here is a picture for OPShots...everybody walked away and looks to be a steering problem upon touch down... Jan

Wow...breaking news! Looks like they got pretty lucky, and the plane looks to be in good shape too. How did you happen upon this?
