HOLLISTER, CA - A pilot had quite a scare Tuesday when he lost control of his aircraft upon takeoff and crashed into a field.
The incident happened around 1:36 p.m.
Officials at Hollister Airport say the pilot of a two engine Beech Aircraft lost control upon takeoff for an unknown reason.
It is unclear if the aircraft was ever airborne before it crashed into a ditch on Hollister Airport's grounds.
The only other person onboard the aircraft was a mechanic, assisting the pilot.
Both individuals sustained no injuries.
The plane sustained major damage after it's landing gear completely collapsed.
Officials with the FAA will be investigating the incident Wednesday afternoon.
