SACRAMENTO MAN HURT IN PLANE CRASH
TOWER CITY – A Sacramento man was seriously injured when the small plane he was flying crashed outside of Tower City Wednesday morning.
Herbert Rose, 60, was flown to Geisinger Medical Center, Danville, by the Life Flight Helicopter following the crash that occurred just after 9 a.m. at Bendigo Airport on Clarks Valley Road, Dauphin County.
State Police at Lykens said the condition of the man was not known and that officials from the federal Aviation Administration were at the scene trying to determine what led to the crash.
When the FAA completes its on-site investigation, their findings will be given to the National Transportation Safety Board for review, officials said.
The crash occurred as Rose was taking off from the small airport but the plane veered off course and crashed to the ground.
Emergency responders from Tower City and Porter Township responded to the crash along units from neighboring Dauphin County.
