Fire crews, a North West Ambulance Service helicopter, a rapid response vehicle and an ambulance were sent to a field off Normans Lane in Higher Whitley on Saturday at 2.30pm after reports of a small aircraft crashing.
But two of the passengers climbed out of the aircraft with cuts and bruises while a third was taken to Warrington Hospital with minor leg injuries.
