UNIONVILLE, Mo. (KCCI] — An Iowa man walked away with only minor injuries after crashing his airplane Wednesday at the Unionville (Missouri) Municipal Airport. 49-year-old Cody Veach, of Corydon, said his single-engine plane crashed on an attempted landing after being hit by strong winds from nearby Lake Thunderhead.

He reported only suffering a few cuts and bruises. Federal Aviation Administration officials say people should stay away from the site because a ballistic parachute is in the wreckage.

The airport was closed while officials investigated the crash.
