It has been reported that a pilot was able to escape injury on Tuesday, January 21 after he was forced to make an emergency landing onto the infield of a former racetrack.

An article by NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth states that the pilot intentionally landed in the infield of the former Trinity Meadows Race Track in Texas after a propeller on his plane suddenly fell off.

The report has cited Parker County Sheriff Larry Fowler as saying that the pilot was in a single-engine aircraft identified as a 1978 Grumman AA-5B.
