Pilot Hospitalized After Small Plane Crashes in Sandusky County

A pilot was taken to a hospital after a small plane crashed in a soybean field in Sandusky County Thursday afternoon.

The Ohio State Highway Patrol says the crash happened near U.S. Routes 20 and 23. First responders told WKYC-TV the field was too muddy for trucks and other vehicles to get through, so crews used an airboat to help remove the plane.

The Federal Aviation Administration was expected at the site Friday, according to WKYC’s report for Ohio News Network. The plane’s owner, TSS Glass Machinery Sales, asked for more time before commenting.
