An 83-year-old Michigan woman died in an aircraft crash in Napoleon Township Saturday.
Napoleon Township Police said in a press release that Karol Kay DeGraw died after her gyroplane crashed at a private airstrip on her property.
She was alone in the plane at the time of the crash and was last seen alive taking off from the airstrip.
