Plane Crash (May 9, 2008)
ADA TOWNSHIP - A scary scene for a group of neighbors living along Egypt Valley Avenue in Ada Township tonight, after a plane was forced to make a crash landing in a backyard.
The plane was a single engine Cessna carrier for FedEx, which was on it's way to Grand Rapids from Traverse City to pick up some freight.
The pilot reported several warning lights turning on and the engine losing power. Following proper procedure, he attempted to restart the engine, but was unsuccessful.
