Pilot unharmed after plane crash in Washington County, police say
A pilot was not seriously injured in a plane crash over the weekend in Washington County and authorities are investigating exactly what happened.
On Sunday just after 4:30 p.m., crews were called to an area after they received a “Telematic Alarm crash notification.”
Enterprise Fire and Rescue were first to arrive in the area and found a pilot who refused medical attention and left in a “private vehicle” before any deputies arrived, officials report.
The Washington County Sheriff’s Office reported the plane took off from a private airstrip about three miles away from where it crashed.
When it attempted to gain altitude, the plane caught a down draft and crashed upside down, officials explained. The Federal Aviation Administration is following up with an investigation into the crash.
