A Kansas man avoided injury after a small plane accident just after noon Thursday in Salina.

The Kansas Highway Patrol reported a 1968 Beech Fixed Wing Multi-Engine Aircraft piloted by Joseph P&nbsp;Pinkley, 62, DeSoto,&nbsp; was landing at Salina Regional Airport on a southbound runway. 

The right side landing gear failed causing aircraft to strike the ground on the right side. The aircraft then left the runway&nbsp; spun around coming to rest facing north.

Pinkley was not injured. The accident remains under investigation.
