A UNC Health physician and pilot were taken to the hospital Wednesday after a small plane crashed at Raleigh-Durham International Airport (RDU). Sky 5 was able to fly above the crash site at 11:45 a.m. after a ground stop was lifted at RDU. The ground was littered with debris, and the plane sustained major front-end and side damage. At 12:30 p.m. at least 70 delays were reported at RDU, with Delta Airlines and American Airlines most impacted. Inside the airport, a WRAL News crew learned many delays were over an hour. Two people were on board the plane that crashed around 10:10 a.m. on a secondary runway near gate 15. According to an RDU spokesperson, the airport's primary runway, 5L-23R, has reopened to departing and arriving flights. RDU’s secondary runway remains closed.
