Two Killed as Plane Crashes Over New Jersey River
Two youths, Le Brecque and Updegrove, were killed when a plane crashed along the New Jersey side of the Delaware River. Investigators say a motor cylinder failure caused the wreck after the two, who moved to Allentown four years ago, had formed a close friendship and pooled savings to buy the second-hand plane. Le Brecque held a pilot certificate earned last February. Their death ends a shared interest in aviation that began with a friendship at the hotel where they worked.
