A pilot was uninjured after a plane crash in Livingston County Thursday.

According to the Livingston County Sheriff’s Office, shortly before 4 p.m. on Thursday, dispatch received a call from the F.A.A. reporting a possible aircraft down seven to 10 miles southwest of Chillicothe in Livingston County with the pilot possibly injured.

The LCSO, Missouri State Highway Patrol and Chillicothe Department of Emergency Services responded with a variety of emergency equipment and UTV. The Chillicothe PD sent an officer and a drone, Dawn First Responders assisted, Missouri Department of Conservation Agent from Caldwell County Bill Kieffer used his plane to help search as did Life Flight Eagle, and several citizens assisted in the search.

A while later the F.A.A. advised, according to the mapping, the plane was south of the railroad tracks in Ludlow and east of the first house south of the railroad tracks. LCSO Captain Sindy Thomas was finally able to make contact with the pilot by phone. The pilot reported he was in a field, could see a home about a quarter of a mile away, and was able to walk to that house and checked the mail in the mailbox for an address. At 5:02 p.m., the pilot was soon located a few miles south east of Dawn and reported being uninjured. The pilot is from the state of Wisconsin.

The Missouri State Highway Patrol is investigating the crash and the F.A.A. reportedly will also be investigating.

The LCSO said they appreciate the help from the public through social media as the sheriff posted information in an attempt to get visual help from anyone in the area to aide in locating the pilot. The post was quickly shared 178 times and was viewed by over 6,700 people.
