A Kansas pilot from Sharon Springs was injured Friday morning after a crash landing in a Greeley County cornfield.

According to the Kansas Highway Patrol, around 10:40 a.m. A.B. Smith, 52, was flying a 1971 Cessna fixed wing, single engine plane about 13 miles north of the K-27 and K-96 junction at Tribune when he lost control of his plane when banking to turn. Smith was able to regain control of the plane and straighten out but crash landed in a cornfield hard on his landing gear, in an upright position.

Smith was transported to Greeley County Hospital with undisclosed injuries.
