One person was injured when a small plane crashed into a Barrow County storage facility Saturday morning, officials said.

The plane crashed at the Barrow Mini Warehouses on Atlanta Highway in Winder shortly after 11:30 a.m., Barrow County Emergency Services spokesman Capt. Scott Dakin said.

“Upon arrival of firefighters, we found a small aircraft that was upside down beside one of the storage warehouses,” he said in an emailed statement. “The aircraft had hit the roof of the warehouse and flipped over, coming to a rest alongside the building.”

Two people were on board at the time, authorities said. One person reportedly declined medical treatment and a second was taken to the hospital. The injured person’s condition has not been released.

It’s unclear where they plane took off or how long it had been in the air before crashing. Photos shared by the fire department showed the small plane struck the metal roof of the storage facility, putting a hole in the structure. The plane began leaking fuel after landing upside down on the ground below, Dakin said.
