KFSM reports that a private plane made a crash landing on M.L. King Boulevard in Fayetteville today near Fayetteville High School. Three people on board were injured, but none seriously, the station said.

The station reportsthat the pilot was former Walmart CEO Bill Simon and the plane was en route from Bentonville to Waco when it developed problems.

A pickup reportedly hit the plane after it crashed.
