BREMERTON, Wash. -- The pilot of a crashed plane is now at Harrison Medical Center for evaluation and treatment.
Lt. Peter Fisher of the Bremerton Police Department said someone reported a plane in distress just before 10:00 P.M. last night near the Bremerton National Airport. The pilot of that plane then called 911 to confirm that he crashed.
Search and rescue teams eventually found both the pilot and the crashed plane in a wooded area just west of Bremerton. The pilot is believed to have non-life threatening injuries.
It's still unclear what caused the crash. Both the Federal Aviation Administration and the National Transportation Safety Board will investigate.
