PLANO, Texas (AP) - Officials say a small plane has landed in the backyard of a home in the North Texas town of Plano. Neither of the plane’s two occupants was injured.

Federal Aviation Administration spokesman Lynn Lunsford says that the pilot of the Mooney M20 was trying to go around for another try after an aborted landing and lost control of the aircraft Sunday morning.

Lunsford says the FAA is investigating the incident.

The plane had been traveling from Lubbock to the Air Park-Dallas Airport in Collin County.
