A pilot was hospitalized after losing his arm Wednesday in an accident involving a plane propeller.
It happened at around 5:45 p.m. at the Paso Robles Airport.
Airport Manager Mark Scandalis did not go into detail on how the incident happened, describing it as complicated, but said the 81-year-old pilot from Watsonville was in the process of departing the airport in an Aeronca Chief plane.
Scandalis says staff with Lloyd’s Aviation were able to provide first-aid and call 911.
No other information was immediately available.
