Piper Cherokee Six Lands On Roof Of Georgia Home

Pilot, Passenger, Slightly Injured In The Accident

The pilot of a Piper PA-32-300 Cherokee Six and his passenger escaped serious injury Tuesday when the airplane came down on the roof of a house in St. Simons Island, GA.

The two occupants of the house were home at the time of the accident, one inside the structure and one outside. They were uninjured.

Glynn County, GA police said in a statement posted to their Facebook page that they responded to 224 Circle Drive on St. Simons Island in reference to a plane crash. Upon arrival, they found a Piper PA-32 on top of the residence. The two occupants of the plane received minor injuries and were able to get out of the plane. The homeowner put a ladder up to the roof so the occupants could get down. The homeowner was not injured.

The plane was en route from Jacksonville Executive at Craig Airport to South Carolina when the plane began to have mechanical problems and the pilot attempted to divert to Malcolm McKinnon Airport on St. Simons.

The Brunswick News reports that the pilot and passenger were transported to Southeast Georgia Health System in Brunswick, GA.

One of the first responders was a neighbor who is a critical care flight paramedic. He climbed up on the roof, assessed the injuries of the two on board the airplane, asked about the amount of fuel on board, and helped them get down.

FAA records indicate that the Piper PA-32-300 was manufactured in 1971 and was registered to KDK Associates of Jacksonville, FL. Its most recent airworthiness certificate was issued in January 2012, and was valid through January 2018.
