The lone pilot of a small plane that crashed into Beards Creek in Anne Arundel County, Maryland, has been hospitalized with non-life-threatening injuries, local authorities said Monday.
Civilian kayakers immediately went out to the plane after it crashed Monday morning to rescue any passengers, but the only person on the plane was the pilot, according to the Anne Arundel County Fire Department. The kayakers, who ventured out on the water despite freezing temperatures, returned from the creek safely. 2nd U/D A.A.
— Christopher Olson December 26, 2022 State police are handling the investigation into the crash, but a good samaritan who rescued the pilot claimed that it was clear there was a problem with the plane. "When we all looked, we knew there was a problem," John Gelinne, the rescuer, told CBS News."He was heading at us kinda badly, and then he banged hard left."
Gelinne, a Navy veteran, said he knew hypothermia would be a problem if he did not snap into action right away, so he and his son immediately grabbed kayaks and headed on to the creek. Gelinne threw a life vest to the pilot, pulled him out of the water, and waited until rescue arrived. Plane Crash Update: The Pilot is being transported to AAMC with non-life threatening injuries.

Jennifer Macallair told the outlet."They probably saved that pilot's life today.
