Local Pilot Home Recovering After Mississippi Plane Crash
September 22, 2012
A local pilot injured in small plane crash in Mississippi Wednesday is back home recovering.
Freddie Wayne “Bo” McCall III of Flomaton was the only person aboard the single engine Cessna 172M when it crash landed in a hayfield near Quitman, Miss.
“It is going to be a long slow process,” Freddie Wayne McCall, the injured pilot’s grandfather and mayor of Century, said Friday. “He will see a plastic surgeon in about a week.”
Bo McCall suffered facial fractures and major bruising in the crash. He will need reconstructive surgery on his eye socket but suffered no damage to his eye, family members said.
“We want to thank everybody for their prayers,” the mayor said. “We really appreciate everybody and what they have done for us.”
McCall was inspecting pipeline routes from the air at the time of a crash. A full investigation into the cause of the crash will be conducted by the National Transportation Safety Board. The results of that investigation are not expected for several weeks.
