Pilot Reportedly Walks Away From Plane Crash

MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) – A pilot was reportedly able to walk away from a plane crash Tuesday in Yellow Medicine County after the plane struck a power line and landed in a cornfield, authorities said.

The Yellow Medicine County Sheriff's Office said the crash was reported shortly after 4 p.m. The caller said a plane was crop dusting west of Hanley Falls, Minn., when it went down.

The pilot, 47-year-old Bryce Orwick, of Clara City, was reported by another caller to be walking on a road after the crash, the sheriff's office said. Orwick was later taken to the Granite Falls Hospital for treatment.

Authorities said the plane appears to have hit a high voltage power line and knocked it down.

The crash will be investigated by the FAA and the Yellow Medicine County Sheriff's Office.
