Plane spins off runway during rough landing at Auburn airport; no injuries reported
A small plane made a rough landing at Auburn Municipal Airport late Tuesday morning, police said.

Investigators said the instructor overcorrected, causing the aircraft to spin sideways off the runway.
The plane then flipped over and came to rest upside down.
No injuries were reported.
