(From the Ohio State Highway Patrol)

The Bowling Green Post of the Ohio State Highway Patrol is investigating a minor-injury twin-engine plane crash that occurred just after 12:30 p.m. on September 3 near the Wood County Airport.

The preliminary investigation revealed that a Piper Seminole attempted to land to the west, on Runway 28, where the left-seat pilot, Ulrich Marlon Tchiedje Ngaleumo, 23, Pickerington, aborted the landing and attempted to do a go-around procedure.

The right-seat pilot, Joel Borton, 34, Perrysburg, then took control of the twin-engine plane and made a forced landing in a bean field approximately one-quarter mile northwest of the departure end of the runway.

Mr. Ngaleumo sustained minor injuries and was transported to the Wood County Hospital by ground ambulance.
