Pilot Killed In Midair Plane Crash

Small Planes Collided Near Olympia

OLYMPIA, Wash. -- Federal investigators are trying to determine why two small planes collided over a rural area south of Olympia.
One pilot died and the other was taken to Providence St. Peter Hospital in Olympia following the crash Sunday evening.

Federal Aviation Administration officials say the two northbound Cessnas collided about 800 feet over the ground shortly after 8:30 p.m. They went down about a quarter of a mile apart southeast of Tenino and about 10 miles south of Olympia.

The injured pilot told witnesses he never saw the other plane.
