A Federal Express cargo plane crash landed in a golf course near Portland Saturday morning. The pilot had only minor injuries.
The plane was headed from Portland to Medford.
Golf course employee Sean Dolan was driving a cart away from the seventh hole when he heard the crash, looked back and saw the plane nearthe seventh hole. He called 9-1-1. The emergency operator told Dolan to check on the pilot.
"I ran up there, the guy was okay. He was waving to me but he couldn't get out so I stayed on the phone to 9-1-1," Dolan said.
The pilot had to be cut out of the plane.
Fed Ex sent teams to the scene to retrieve the packages and deliver them.
