A Denali National Park spokeswoman say the pilot of a small airplane that crashed has survived.

Spokeswoman Kris Fister said this morning that 35-year-old Daniel McGregor was able to walk away from the airplane, despite having suffered significant burns.

Fister says that with the help of two campers McGregor encountered, he was able to make it to his home, where he called his family, then Alaska State Troopers.

Fister says McGregor walked roughly 20 miles during his ordeal. He was being taken to a Seattle burn center.

Officials have said that human remains were found in the plane wreckage. McGregor has confirmed that the remains are those of 67-year-old biologist Gordon Haber, the only other person aboard the aircraft.
