Indiana Conservation Officers Respond to Plane Crash in Jackson-Washington State Forest (Jackson County).

Indiana Conservation Officers are assisting the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) after an overnight plane crash in Jackson County. Chad Lowe (31) of Crossville, TN crashed the small plane he was piloting and escaped with no injuries. It happened shortly after 1:00 a.m. on Saturday morning.

Shortly after 1:00 a.m. this morning, Lowe was piloting his 1962 Piper Colt aircraft when it suffered a mechanical failure, causing him to crash into a dense grove of trees in the Jackson-Washington State Forest, near Skyline Drive. Lowe hiked to a nearby residence and sought assistance.

Indiana Conservation Officers were assisted by the Jackson County Sheriff’s Department on scene. The FAA is investigating.
