Two people walked away from a small plane crash in south central California after the aircraft landed upside down.

First responders were called to the scene Sunday morning on the south side of East Lerdo Highway in Shafter, California, near the Minton Field Airport, the Kern County Fire Department said on Facebook. 

The plane was located upside down “in the middle of a vegetable field with no smoke or fire visible,” the department said. 

“Firefighters quickly gathered tools and medical equipment and made their way to the wreckage. Arriving at the plane, they were relieved to find both occupants safely out of the aircraft and refusing any medical treatment,” the department’s post added.
