LONG BEACH, Calif. -- A woman was set to undergo surgery after she was seriously injured when a small plane crash landed on a soccer field in Long Beach, California, her family said.

The incident happened Tuesday afternoon at Heartwell Park near Carson Street and Clark Avenue.

According to family members, Tiffany Harrison was walking her dog at the time and was hit during the crash landing. The pilot was also injured.

Harrison's sister, Brittany McFall, spoke with ABC Los Angeles affiliate KABC on Wednesday and said Harrison is deaf and didn't hear the plane when it crashed.

"We're very upset," she said. "It's almost like an unbelievable story. When we got the phone call that she got hit by an airplane, we couldn't even believe it because it's something that doesn't happen."
