A single-engine airplane that crashed January
fifth near Norphlet, killing one of the two people aboard, went
down as its pilot attempted an emergency landing in a field. That`s
from a preliminary report filed by the National Transportation
Safety board.
The board said the Cessna 182-R-G was about eleven miles
northeast of the El Dorado airport when it developed problems and
its pilot tried to land it.
The crash killed 39-year-old passenger Jonathan M. Hughes Junior
of El Dorado, while pilot Glenn Thweatt of New York was taken to
the Medical Center of South Arkansas at El Dorado, where he was
listed this week in fair condition.
