HUNTINGTON, Ind. (AP) - Sheriff’s officials in Huntington County say a single-engine private plane lost power and the pilot had to land on U.S. 224, striking a truck stopped at a traffic light.
Officials say the pilot wasn’t hurt and the driver suffered non-life threatening injuries. The (Fort Wayne) Journal Gazette reports (https://bit.ly/1E42ajB ) the Monday afternoon crash tore one wing off the aircraft, which landed upside down in a roadside ditch. The crash happened a few miles from Huntington Municipal Airport. The plane was traveling from Anderson to the DeKalb County Airport.
Huntington County Sheriff Terry Stoffel says the pilot radioed Fort Wayne International Airport to report engine trouble and was directed to the Huntington airport.
The pilot and truck’s driver weren’t immediately identified.
