SPOKANE — The Canadian pilot of a small plane that crashed Sunday in Spokane has died.
Providence Sacred Heart Medical Center confirmed that 61-year-old Michael Clements died Tuesday. He had been in critical condition since the crash.
The single-engine Piper Malibu had just taken off from Felts Field when it crashed near a railroad viaduct along the Spokane River, avoiding a building.
The Spokesman-Review reported that responding police officers, Burlington Northern Santa Fe workers and witnesses removed the pilot from the upside-down cockpit amid spilled fuel.
Aircraft records show the plane was registered to Clements, of Stony Plain, Alberta.
