Emergency responders are describing the plane crash as "miraculous" after a father and son on board a Cessna 172 walked away from the crash after it landed in a tree in the backyard of a home.

The father, who was flying the plane, says he was trying to make an emergency landing at a nearby airport but could not make it there in time. The man and his young son are in the hospital in stable condition. Local police and firefighters are amazed that the plane did not crash into a house or catch on fire on impact.

An investigation by the National Transportation Safety Board will be conducted to find the cause of the crash.

An assistant at a nursing home has been accused of hitting a 93 year-old patient in the head numerous times.

The patient told a social worker that the assistant hit her in the head every time she came in to care for her. The blows to the head have left a large bruise on the patient. The 38 year-old female assistant denies these accusations.

A judge sentenced the woman to anger management classes, counseling, and 40 hours of community service after her initial charges of felony intentional abuse and causing bodily harm were dropped to a misdemeanor charge of negligence.
