A single-engine plane owned by Auburn University crashed Sunday in Opelika, injuring the pilot, according to authorities and flight records.
The Textron Aviation 172S crashed at the dead end of Watson Street; the aircraft was flipped over and had substantial damage, according to records and a photo of the crash posted by Opelika police on social media.
The mostly white plane, which had blue and orange streaks with an Auburn logo at the tail of the aircraft, was registered to Auburn University, records showed.
The pilot, who was the only occupant, suffered non-life-threatening injuries, police said.
The pilot was identified by WTVM as a female student pilot but Auburn could not immediately be reached by AL.com to confirm the report.
