ROSE LAKE TOWNSHIP, Mich. — The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is investigating a plane crash in Osceola County over the weekend.

The Osceola County Sheriff’s Office (OCSO) says deputies responded to the plane crash Sunday before 3:15 p.m. in Rose Lake Township.

We’re told a 57-year-old instructor and his 19-year-old student tried to land the aircraft on a grassy field but overshot it. The pilot tried to fly higher, but the aircraft lost power and crashed into a swampy area.

Both occupants walked away with minor injuries, deputies say.

OCSO credits the FAA, EMS, dispatchers and Leroy-Rose Lake & Fire for their assistance.
