First responders tend to a small plane crash in Brush Prairie Aug. 14.
A man received only minor injuries following a plane crash on a private airstrip in Brush Prairie Friday, the Clark County Sheriff’s Office reported.
At about 10:15 a.m. Aug. 14, deputies were dispatched to an airstrip in the 14800 block of Northeast 160th Avenue. Deputies learned the pilot, the sole occupant of a homebuilt plane, was performing “touch and go” landing maneuvers at the time of the crash.
The sheriff’s office believes that during one of the maneuvers a wing hit the ground while attempting to take off again, causing the plane to roll and come to rest on the airstrip.
The pilot, a man in his 60s, got himself out of the plane, declining medical treatment for a minor head injury, the sheriff’s office reported.
