JEFFERSON COUNTY, Wash. — One man was extricated from an antique plane after it crashed Sunday afternoon on a Discovery Bay Beach spit, the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office said.
It happened in the 3500 block of Old Gardiner Road just after 1:30 p.m.
Pilot Neil Morrison and his passenger, Eric Taylor, were trying to make an emergency landing because the plane they were in was experiencing engine failure, officials said.
Officials said a witness near the beach told them they saw the crash.
Both men suffered injuries, but Taylor had to be extricated, officials said. The men were airlifted to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle.
No word was given on the extent of their injuries.
The Port Townsend Aero Museum owns the plane and was able to recover it, officials said.
