CLAY COUNTY, Ind. (WTHI) – The Federal Aviation Administration is investigating a plane crash in Clay County.

The FAA told News 10 that the plane involved in the crash was an Eipper Quicksilver. It is a single-engine “ultralight plane.”The pilot was the only person on the plane.

The crash happened just after 4:30 near the Brazil Clay County Airport.

We talked to the airport’s president. He told our crew the pilot was taken to Regional Hospital in Terre Haute with non-life-threatening injuries.

The FAA did not provide the pilot’s name, but they did provide a tail number. The plane is registered to Steven Watts.

The FAA did not confirm that Watts was flying the plane – only the plane’s tail number.

We will continue to follow this story and bring you more information as it becomes available.
