SAN BENITO COUNTY
A small airplane crashed at Frazier Lake Airpark at about 2 p.m. today, and the victim was airlifted from the scene.
Emergency responders tended to the man after the plane – which had no major, visible damage – had been flipped upside down slightly off the lighted, grassy runway area.
He was found with a laceration on his head and was in stable condition leaving the scene, said Fire Protection Engineer Jeff Kinoshita of the Fairview Road Cal Fire base. Some blood was visible on the interior ceiling of the plane and on a door.
Responders at the scene had placed the man in an ambulance as CALSTAR arrived at about 2:15 p.m. They treated him there before he was flown from the scene at about 2:40 p.m.
The victim’s identity is unknown, but a dispatcher initially reported he is age 82.
Responding were Cal Fire, San Benito County Sheriff’s Office deputies and CALSTAR, which airlifted the victim from the scene.
