A single-engine plane has crashed in Montcalm County, killing a passenger and injuring the pilot.
Sheriff's deputies tell The Grand Rapids Press that 60-year-old Royal Marsh of Hope was declared dead at the scene of Saturday's crash. The 37-year-old pilot, Joseph E. Hoffman of Beaverton, was listed in stable condition after being flown by helicopter to Hurley Hospital in Flint.
Deputies say the two-seat Cessna took off from the Cedar Lake Seventh-day Adventist Academy Airport about 1:30 p.m. They say it banked to the right and clipped several trees before crashing in the backyard of a home about a half-mile from the airport in Richland Township, 40 miles northeast of Grand Rapids.
The Federal Aviation Administration is investigating.
