Two People Survive Plane Crash In Carbon County
Two people survived a plane crash in Carbon County thanks to rescuers by water and by air.The four-seat Cherokee plane crashed in a remote area about 45 miles outside of Price, Utah on Sunday.
A tour of rafters floating down the Green River saw the wreckage and took care of the men overnight until help could arrive the next morning.
Officials said the plane crash sparked a fire which caused difficulty for rescue crews. This and the rugged terrain required rescuers to get the victims out by medical helicopter. The pilot, John Bridewell of South Dakota and his passenger, Duncan Bridewell of Arizona are reportedly in stable condition at the University of Utah Hospital.
The fire has now burned about six acres and will make investigating the cause of the crash difficult.
