The pilot was serious injured after a small plane crashed southwest of London on Thursday evening.
Elgin County OPP, along with local fire departments and EMS, said the single-engine aircraft crashed in Dutton around 6:15 p.m.
According to police, the aircraft had gone down just short of a grass landing strip and collided with the foundation of a home that was in the process of being built in a new subdivision on Leitch Street.
They say the aircraft was a Rutan Long-EZ model that they believe was homebuilt.
