Multiple medics responded around 3 p.m. to the area of Old Dayton and North Lutheran Church Road on a reported plane crash, according to a Montgomery County Regional Dispatch Center (RDC) sergeant.
Photos from the scene show an ultralight plane on its top.
Trotwood medics arrived at the scene before requesting assistance from the Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office and the Ohio State Highway Patrol (OSHP).
“The single-occupant, ultralight aircraft was attempting to land on the runway,” said Sgt. Brent Johnson, Dayton Post OSHP. “It appears he lost control, went off the side of the runway, overturned, and was ejected from the aircraft.”
An OSHP dispatcher confirmed to News Center 7 that they are handling the investigation and that a medical helicopter transported a man to an area hospital with serious injuries.
Sgt. Johnson told our news crew that this type of incident is out of the ordinary. But it is much more common for smaller planes than large jets.
News Center 7 will continue to update this developing story.
