SILVER SPRINGS -- A single-engine plane made an emergency landing in a swamp on Saturday morning and the pilot suffered only minor injuries, Marion County sheriff's officials said.
Authorities said that around 7 a.m., the pilot, whose name was not released, called them about the accident and said he needed assistance in getting out of the swamp near County Road 314A.
Deputies responded to the area and, unable to find wreckage, called for the helicopter to look for the man and the plane.
The helicopter was able to hover low enough at the crash site that officials could scoop him up and carry him to safety, officials said.
The plane crashed two to three miles away from a landing strip, officials said.
Deputies said the pilot was treated by medical personnel for minor cuts and bruises.
The Federal Aviation Administration was notified about the crash, officials said.
