London, England -- Two men were recovering Saturday after their plane carrying donor organs crashed in central England a day earlier, police said.
The private two-seater Cessna crashed and caught fire while landing at Birmingham Airport on Friday, injuring the two men onboard.
As soon as the two men were "secure," the organs were retrieved and escorted by police to their destination, West Midlands Police said.
It was unclear Saturday how the transplants went.
Early information indicates the plane had a hard landing and subsequently caught fire, police said.
One of the men was lightly injured and taken by ambulance to a hospital while the other was more seriously hurt and airlifted. The second man was "comfortable in hospital" early Saturday, according to West Midlands Police.
There were foggy conditions at the airport when the crash happened just after 3:30 p.m. (10:30 a.m. ET), Britain's Press Association reported.
Authorities shut down the runway pending investigations.
The runway was closed until noon (7 a.m. ET) Saturday at the earliest, the airport said, with no flights operating until then.
