The open cockpit plane went down around 10:30 a.m. Sunday near Reservoir Road. Multiple agencies have been on scene since the crash was first reported. Officials waited for a Green Mountain Power Utility truck with a bucket to get the man safely out of the tree.
The pilot has been identified as Dr. Mark Jacob, of Rutland. He was safely lowered from the tree around 5:30 Sunday evening, uninjured.
Jacob is a pilot and told us he took off at the nearby Springfield Airport and crashed shortly after.
