A 69 year old man has died after crashing a plane in Clinton County on Thursday.

The Clinton County Sheriff's Office says the single engine experimental plane crashed in the 8900 block of S. Bauer Road in RileyTownship around 6:30 p.m. Investigators believe the plane hit power lines before crashing, and say the sun may have been a factor.

The pilot, Michael Mills, was airlifted to Sparrow Hospital and later died.

Investigators say the plane was traveling from the Owosso Airport to a landing strip near the crash site.

The Clinton County Sheriff's Office, FAA, and NTSB are still investigating.
