PALMETTO, FL – A 70-year-old male pilot and his passenger, an 86-year-old man, were left with non-life-threatening injuries after their plane crashed into an unoccupied truck Tuesday.
My Sun Coast said the men were in the process of departing Airport Manatee when heavy winds caused their Aeronca Champion plane to descend from the sky and strike a powerline prior to making contact with the other vehicle.
The passenger, Allen Maxwell, was sitting behind the pilot and was able to get out of the plane on his own.
