A teenage girl is alleged to have climbed a fence, stole and plane and then crashed it at a US airport.
The 17-year-old is under arrest after a King Air 200, a small, private plane, was driven into a fence at Fresno Yosemite International Airport in California on Wednesday morning.
Fresno police arrived and talked with the girl, who was seated inside the plane with the pilot’s headset on, airport Police Chief Drew Bessinger said at a press conference Wednesday afternoon.
The plane never took off and had some minor damage.
The girl’s motive is unknown, but there’s no reason to think it was related to domestic terrorism, Bessinger said, according to CNN.
The girl appeared disoriented and was uncooperative when she was taken into custody, according to an airport press release.
No commercial passengers or aircraft were at risk, authorities said.
