2 Survive Plane Crash Landing Near Half Moon Bay

HALF MOON BAY (CBS 5 / BCN) ― A married couple flipped their small plane Saturday during an emergency landing near San Gregorio State Beach, south of Half Moon Bay in San Mateo County, according to the Federal Aviation Administration.

The couple was flying a Cessna 150, a two-seater airplane designed for personal use, to the Half Moon Bay Airport.

Just before 4:30 p.m., the pilot decided to make an emergency landing because they were low on fuel, FAA spokesman Ian Gregor said.

They were flying from the Monterey Peninsula Airport and landed in a field close to the beach near Highway 1 in Pescadero — where they flipped over, Gregor said.

Neither of them were injured.
