Monroe County Sheriff’s Office officials said the plane crashed around 2 p.m. near Horseshoe Keys, located north of Bahia Honda Key near Marathon.
The pilot, who was not identified and was the only person on the plane, was brought ashore by Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission officers and then airlifted to a Miami hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
The cause of the accident is still under investigation.
