Ky. men in Pulaski plane crash in fair condition
SOMERSET, Ky. (AP) – Federal investigators have spent time at the scene of a small plane crash in southern Kentucky that injured two men.
WLEX-TV in Lexington reported (http://bit.ly/1bkvaaY) that the Federal Aviation Administration arrived in Pulaski County on Tuesday morning and spent the day trying to determine why the aircraft went down. The plane crashed Monday about a quarter of a mile from where it took off near Bronston.
The FAA took pictures, examined the wreckage, and walked around the large field where the plane went down. A spokesman for the FAA says the National Transportation Safety Board will determine the cause within a year.
The pilot, 54-year-old Gary McGothlin of Lexington, was in fair condition at the University of Kentucky Hospital. The passenger, 55-year-old Charles Jackson of Winchester, has been discharged.
