SPOKANE, Wa. — The Canadian pilot of a small plane that crashed Sunday in Spokane died Tuesday afternoon, Providence Sacred Heart Medical Center and Children's Hospital says.
The single-engine Piper Malibu had just taken off from Felts Field when it crashed near a railroad viaduct along the Spokane River, avoiding a building.
Responding police officers, Burlington Northern Santa Fe workers and witnesses removed the pilot from the upside-down cockpit amid spilled fuel.
Aircraft records show the plane is registered to Michael Clements of Stony Plain, Alberta.
