Austin Hatch was seriously hurt in the June 24 crash in Charlevoix.
FORT WAYNE, IND (AP) -- The family of a high school basketball star from Fort Wayne says he has returned home more than three months after being badly hurt in a Charlevoix County plane crash that killed his father and stepmother.
Austin Hatch's family members say they are "thankful and relieved" that he is home, but the statement emailed Sunday didn't say where he would be living.
Hatch was a star player at Canterbury High School in Fort Wayne and had accepted a scholarship to play basketball at the University of Michigan starting in 2013.
The June 24 crash of the single-engine plane his father was flying near Charlevoix, left Hatch with a serious head injury. The family says he still faces a long recovery.
