Pilot killed in plane crash in Columbia County neighborhood
The Sheriffโs Office, which received dozens of 911 calls about the crash that happened just before 10 a.m., asked people to avoid the area around SW Creekside Lane. Daniel Kosciow, a neighbor, said he heard the crash and ran to try and help. I ran over and saw the plane on fire, and it was a ball of fire,โ Kosciow said. The crash happened less than a half-mile north of the Cannon Creek Airpark, a neighborhood with a landing strip for pilots living in or visiting the community, which is where the NTSB said the plane had taken off from. The pilot was taken to the Medical Examinerโs Office in Jacksonville.
