GEORGETOWN, Del. (AP/WBOC) - A Sussex County councilman who was seriously injured when his small plane crashed in a field in central Virginia last year has returned to work.
Vance Phillips entered the council chambers in a wheelchair Tuesday, two weeks after being released from a Philadelphia hospital. He was able to stand briefly during the prayer, pledge and a later interview.
Phillips suffered an injury to his spine in the Oct. 30 crash. According to the National Transportation Safety Board, Phillips lost control of his plane during a climb shortly after takeoff.
The 49-year-old Republican from Laurel, Del., has been a councilman for 13 years. He said his piloting days are over.
