A pilot was rescued Saturday after his small-engine plane became
entangled in high-voltage power lines in Minnesota, officials said.

Thomas Koskovich, 65, was flying his Piper Cub south when he became
trapped in the wires in Scott County around 4 p.m., the Scott County
Sheriff's Office said. Authorities said they received a 911 call about
a plane dangling upside-down in the air in Louisville Township.

Power to the wires was shut off, and rescuers near Shakopee worked to
free the pilot, the sheriff's office said in a news release.
Koskovich, who was the sole occupant of the plane, was not injured in
the accident.

“This incident could have been much worse,” Sheriff Luke Hennen said
in a statement. “We are grateful the pilot was able to walk away
without any injuries.”

The Federal Aviation Administration is investigating the incident.
