GREEN OAK TOWNSHIP, Mich. (CBS DETROIT) - Authorities say a pilot has survived after his plane crashed into trees in Livingston County on Monday.
The crash happened in the area of Eight Mile and Rushton roads in Green Oak Township. The fire department says they received a call at about 12:47 p.m. about a small yellow plane blown into trees.
