Two people walked away from a plane crash Saturday afternoon when the small aircraft went down in a wooded area along U.S. 41 in Henry County, authorities said.

Crews responded to the crash near Bear Creek Boulevard in the city of Hampton about 3:15 p.m., Henry County police spokesman Capt. Randy Lee said.
