Small Plane Crashes in a Woodville Field — Pilot Rushed to Hospital After Engine Trouble
A small plane crashed in a field near the intersection of U.S. 20 and U.S. 23 in Woodville on Thursday afternoon, sending the pilot to the hospital.
The crash was reported around 2:30 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 12, in Sandusky County. One person was aboard the aircraft. Emergency responders removed the occupant from the plane and transported him to a hospital. The extent of his injuries was not immediately known.
The pilot reported engine trouble just before air traffic control lost contact with the aircraft, according to dispatch audio. The aircraft was identified on scanner traffic as a Mooney.
Aircraft fuel was leaking at the scene but was no longer actively leaking, and no current threat was reported. Responders reached the scene through a bean field.
Multiple emergency response and law enforcement agencies responded. The Federal Aviation Administration and the Ohio State Highway Patrol are investigating.
This is a developing story. Do not speculate on the cause beyond the reported engine-trouble call.
