The pilot was still inside the cockpit and appeared to be injured.

WPLG's chopper landed briefly and engineer Juan Rodriguez tried to help the pilot escape. Firefighters arrived a short time later and were working to help the pilot.

The airplane is registered to Spohrer and Dodd Aviation LLC at the same address as the Spohrer and Dodd law firm in downtown Jacksonville. Records show the Piper PA-31-350 left Jacksonville Executive at Craig Airport Monday morning.
