First responders in Colorado have released dramatic images showing a small plane that flipped over after crashing onto a golf course in the Denver area. 

South Metro Fire Rescue says the incident involving a Cessna 172 aircraft happened on Wednesday at the Meridian Golf Course in Englewood, just south of Centennial Airport. 

“Two people were onboard the plane that had just departed Centennial Airport runway 17R” and “both parties were able to safely evacuate from the airplane on their own,” the department said. 

“One party suffered minor injuries and was checked by fire medics and refused transport or any further medical attention, [while] the second party sustained no injuries,” it added.
