Police say a fuel malfunction apparently played a role in causing a crop duster to crash while attempting to land at the Riverton airport. The crash happened Monday morning. Nobody was hurt. Riverton police Capt. Eric Murphy says firefighters found the plane with its landing gear collapsed at the end of the runway. The propeller blades were bent out of shape. Murphy says the pilot planned to land at a farm but diverted to the airport instead. The pilot said his misjudged the distance to the runway. The plane destroyed a runway light as it crash-landed at the airport.
