The Tribune-Review reports the pilot was flying from Virginia, landing at the Rostraver Airport when she realized the brakes failed.

She turned off the engine and was able to steer the plane off the runway and over a small hillside.

The aircraft's nose and wings were damaged, but no one was injured.
