Ironwood man identified as pilot in UP plane crash

CARP LAKE TOWNSHIP, MI (AP)--   Authorities have identified a pilot who died after a small plane crashed in a remote area of Ontonagon County. 

Officials have identified the pilot as 36-year-old Jack Maccani of Ironwood. He was pronounced dead at the crash scene.

A search began Saturday after the plane departed from the Gogebic County Airport but didn't arrive as scheduled at the Ontonagon Airport.

Cellphone location data helped locate the plane in a remote area of Carp Lake Township.

The NTSB said Saturday night that it's investigating the crash of the Piper PA-28 in Ontonagon.
