WADSWORTH, Ohio (AP) - Authorities say a pilot flying solo to an Ohio airport lost power in his small aircraft and crash-landed in someone’s backyard but escaped injury.
Retiree Roger Keene was preparing to land at Wadsworth Municipal Airport west of Akron around midday Thursday when his small, single-engine plane lost power. The Litchfield man clipped some treetops and landed in a Wadsworth resident’s yard, coming to rest next to a pavilion.
No one was hurt.
Keene tells The Chronicle-Telegram in Elyria (eh-LEER’-ee-uh) that he took up flying as a hobby and that after the crash-landing experience, he’s done with it.
