Plane Crashes Near Hulman Field in Indiana
Three New Jersey residents survived a Beech Bonanza crash Friday near Hulman Field Indiana. Pilot I L Stephan 55 Beverly and passengers Thornton High 38 Riverside N J and Joan Russell 32 Riverside N J escaped serious injury after stalling near touchdown. Stephan sustained a fractured wrist and head lacerations while the others had leg bruises. The craft hit a cornfield about a quarter mile east of the landing field on Colonel Swalls property. Stephan attributed a failed reserve fuel tank switch, flying about 5000 feet at 140 mph, then stalling and sliding to about 80 mph, aided by tall corn cushioning the impact. High said the group left Zanesville Ohio around 5:30 p.m. Friday.
