MIAMI TWP. -- Ohio State Highway Patrol troopers have identified the pilot of the plane that crashed Monday night as 50-year-old Douglas Morgan. They are saying the plane ran out of fuel before crashing near the I-675/I-75 interchange.
Morgan is at Kettering Medical Center, listed in stable condition.
According to troopers, Morgan flew out of Middletown Regional Airport, just to fly around a little, but the plane ran out of fuel before he made it back to Middletown. Troopers said Morgan attempted to land at Dayton-Wright Brothers Airport.
The other man who was injured in the crash has not yet been identified.
According to the FAA, the plane that crashed Monday night is owned by Doug Morgan Construction LTD of Middletown.
A Harold H. Morgan was issued his pilot's license in July 2012, according to the FAA.

Plane Crash in Miami Twp; Passenger, Pilot Survive
MIAMI TWP. -- Ohio State Highway Patrol troopers say that two people were rushed to the hospital after a small plane crashed in a field near the on ramp at I-675 and I-75 south. Police tell us that the pilot admitted to drinking.
The FAA is investigating. Right now, it's unclear why the plane went down, but on its way down, police say it crashed into a couple of power lines. DP&L is also on the scene working to restore power to more than 1,100 customers, who lost power following the crash. DP&L says they hoped to have all power restored by midnight.
Police say that the two victims in the plane were both adult men. It's unclear where they were coming from or going to, but they were walking outside the plane and shouting for help when authorities arrived.
The pilot also told police he knew he was going down so he shut off his fuel lines, which is why it wasn't a "gruesome" plane crash -- and likely why he and his passenger survived.
Right now the victims' identities haven't been released. The pilot could be facing charges for "flying while drunk."
