Another plane crash was reported in the central Ohi region, Wednesday, this time in Fairfield County.
The Lancaster Post of the Ohio State Highway Patrol reports that a single-engine two-seat Aeronca 11AC aircraft went down near the intersection of State Route 256 and State Route 37 in Fairfield County’s Liberty Township at around 9:30 a.m.
The plane is reported to have struck a storage building upon a landing attempt at a near by air strip.
The pilot, Matthew Leupp, and his passenger, Michael Bollinger, were taken to Mount Carmel East with non-life threatening injuries.
That makes four plane crashes in the central and southern Ohio areas over the past few weeks. A plane crash in Scioto County on May 28th claimed the lives of two Bellefontaine residents. Then on May 4th, another plane went down just west of Portsmouth. A passenger in that crash sustained minor injuries. Finally, last week, a third plane crash was reported in Franklin County's Worthington community. No injuries were reported in that crash.
