Plane crashes in Saluda County: ‘How could anybody live through that?’
SALUDA, S.C. (WRDW/WAGT) - We are now hearing from the 911 caller after a plane crash injured two people in Saluda County.
Bill Everez, 911 caller, says, “Frightening. Look at this thing, so when I saw this I said do I go over there? Fuel’s leaking out. Is someone dead in there or what’s going on? How could anybody live through that?”
According to Saluda County Sheriff Joshua Price, the crash happened at around 10:30 a.m. Sunday.
The two-enger plane crashed between Persimmon Hill Golf Course and the Saluda County Airport, according to the Saluda County Sheriff’s Office.
Price says the cause of the crash is unclear at this time, but the Federal Aviation istration is investigating.
The type of aircraft is a 2005 Van’s RV-9A, Price said.
According to Price, the plane had come up from Florida two days earlier, last left North Carolina on Sunday morning, and stopped to fuel up in Union at some point before crashing.
Both people in the plane were airlifted from the scene to a local hospital. Price said one person was stable and the other was in critical condition in the intensive-care unit.
It was unclear which one of those two individuals was the pilot.
