Pilot Michael Clements, 61, dies from injuries in small-plane crash near East Sprague Avenue and North Erie Street in Spokane, Washington

“I ran over there and tapped on the window,” he said. “He didn’t respond.” Neal used a piece of landing gear to break out a window to try to free the pilot, who was suspended upside down.

He told KHQ reporter Cynthia Johnson the pilot's breathing was shallow and that he was upside down in his seat.

Canadian aircraft records show the plane is registered to Michael Clements of Stony Plain, Alberta. 

Sergeant Jason Hartman camera's began rolling moments after he arrived at the crash scene. In the 30 minute video you hear Hartman's concern of fuel leaking from the damaged plane.

Sergeant Crane was one of the first people on scene of the crash site. He said the pilot was unconscious and seriously injured. The plane itself was almost unrecognizable.

Inspectors who responded to the scene of a single-engine plane crash Sunday were concerned the plane may have been flying with the wrong type of fuel, according to a report from the Department of Ecology.

The soil was changed and the only remaining concerns was if the ground water was contaminated. 

Safeguards should be in place to insure aircraft get the right type of fuel when they tank up at Felts Field, but those safeguards may not have been in place when the wrong fuel may have filled the tank of a Canadian pilot's plane prior to his crash shortly after takeoff last month.

The fueling log from Western Aviation at Felts Field indicated that the plane had been fueled with 52 gallons of Jet fuel prior to takeoff, when it should have received aviation gas.
