Madison County, Tennessee, Sheriff's Office helps locate Brooks County, Georgia, plane crash

A plane crashed in Brooks County, Georgia this afternoon and was found with help from the Madison County Sheriff’s Office, said Sheriff Ben Stewart.

Stewart said the call came through Madison County’s 911 center between 3 p.m. and 3:30 p.m. At least one person in the crash is incapacitated and cannot leave the site, Stewart said. Another passenger is involved, but Stewart did not know that person’s condition.

Stewart said the victim thought he might have been in northern Madison County, but when deputies honed in on his cellular phone signal, they found he had crashed in Brooks County near Quitman, Ga. The plane, Stewart said, was on its way from Thomasville to Bell, south of Live Oak, when it went down.

The Brooks County Sheriff’s Office is working the crash. A spokesman from BCSO could not be reached for comment.
