One injured in plane crash near Farmersville
Brad Kellar & Daniel Walker
Herald-Banner Staff
FARMERSVILLE — The pilot of a single-engine aircraft suffered broken bones and was hospitalized in Dallas after the plane crashed Thursday morning near Farmersville.
Dennis Levy, 65, was said by his son Joshua to have suffered two broken ankles and a broken pelvis as a result of the accident and was transported to Baylor Hospital in Dallas.
“He is not in critical condition or anything,” Joshua Levy said, noting it could have been worse, as the Zodiac aircraft was believed to have suffered the same problem — where the glass canopy above the pilot’s seat came off during flight — once before.
The plane was reported to have crashed in a field off of Collin County Road 698, near U.S. Highway 380 and just on the Collin County side of the border with Hunt County.
Monique Matherne said the plane flew over her home. “It flew low over our homes, took a left turn and then came down,” Matherne said. “The pilot was still sitting in the plane when the rescue crew got here and came running across the field.”
Dennis Levy was reported to have been doing a training flight with a student at the time of the crash, although the student was believed to have been unhurt.
“I don’t ev en think they took him to the hospital,” Joshua Levy, the owner of the plane and LCI Solutions in Plano, told the Herald-Banner.
He said they have been having repeated difficulties with the plane.
“We’ve had months of problems,” Levy said, including one prior incident where the canopy had come off of the plane, which resulted in the Levys contacting the manufacturer.
“They told us to bring the plane down there,” Levy said. “ I assumed they did OK. I guess I was wrong.”

Since the pilot and student are both alive we ought to get a pretty good report on this one. One thing is clear though, the wings are attached.
