Aircraft Cessna 172 with four people on board crashed at Cavanaugh Bay Airport in Idaho, USA. The aircraft was taking off, but experienced a runway overrun and subsequent impact with fencing, crashing at the ground near the south banks of Priest Lake. The pilot and the three passengers escaped from the damaged plane without serious injuries and with minor hurts.
