LITTLE ROCK (KATV) — No one was injured after the brakes reportedly failed to work on a small aircraft that was scheduled to land overnight at the Clinton National Airport.

Officials say the incident occurred just before 12:00 a.m. when the pilot, Greg Hatcher of Little Rock, said the brakes were not functioning on the Cessna Citation Cj4 he was flying. Hatcher said the malfunction caused him to turn the aircraft towards a grassy area at the end of the runway in order to bring it to a complete stop.
