HAYWOOD COUNTY, Tenn. Crews found a plane crash site in Haywood County Wednesday morning.
Tuesday evening, the Haywood County Sheriff’s Office received a call that the air traffic controller had lost the signal of a plane in the area.
Soon after receiving the coordinates, the search was on.
“We had a rescue team here, already together, and we went to the location to see if we could find anyone that was possibly still alive,” said Haywood County Sheriff Billy Garrett.
“It got to the point where they knew they would have to get in the woods and off the road, and they couldn’t see what they were doing, so they backed up and waited until sun up,” said Lt. Shawn Williams, with the Haywood County Sheriff’s Office.
