PILOT, PASSENGER UNHURT AFTER SMALL PLANE CRASHES IN MONTGOMERY COUNTY, INDIANA





MARCH 17, 2015

MONTGOMERY COUNTY, INDIANA

Emergency crews responded after a plane went down in Montgomery County Tuesday morning.

Dispatchers said the plane crashed just south of New Market. No injuries were reported. The initial call came in around 11:05 a.m.

Officials at the Crawfordsville Municipal Airport said the plan went down about a mile and a half south of the facility in a nearby bean field. The closest roads were County Road 600 South and County Road 100 West.

Crews from the Montgomery County Sheriff’s Department, Crawfordsville Police Department, Crawfordsville Fire Department and New Market Volunteer Fire Department responded. 

Crews on the scene told FOX59 that two people walked away from the crash unhurt. The pilot and passenger didn’t need any medical attention.  Of course they would refuse help.  Crash victims are in shock and they always say that things are alight – but they aren’t.

The FAA will investigate the crash.
