Massachusetts -- Authorities say an ultralight plane crashed at the local landing strip in Palmer, leaving the pilot from Connecticut with minor injuries.
The Republican newspaper of Springfield reported Sunday that William Sullivan was rushed to Baystate Medical Center in Springfield, where his condition was listed as fair.
Police Sgt. Chris Burns says the aircraft flown by the 35-year-old Sullivan of Windsor Locks, Connecticut, crashed and was destroyed as he attempted to land on a landing strip next to the former Palmer Municipal Airport.
The landing strip is used by members of the Silver Wing Ultralight Club.
There was no immediate information on possible causes for the crash.
