A pilot suffered non life-threatening injuries after his plane crashed somewhere on Martis Peak near the Truckee Tahoe Airport on Thursday afternoon.

Crews say tough terrain at the crash site forced them to bring in helicopters to rescue the pilot.

The unidentified pilot was the only person aboard the plane when it went down about 3:30pm.

He was taken to Renown Medical Center in Reno.
