One dead, one injured in Harpersfield plane crash
HARPERSFIELD TOWNSHIP — A plane crash about a half mile east of the Whispering Willow Mobile Home Community killed one person and injured a second Sunday morning, said Ohio State Patrol Lt. Tim Grimm, who commands the Saybrook OHP Post. Grimm said preliminary investigation indicates the plane had taken off from Germak Airport and had trouble gaining altitude over Route 307, narrowly missing a utility pole and striking a tree, coming down about 50 feet south of Route 307 in a grassy area. "There were two males on board, one of them is deceased and the other was transported to the hospital for treatment of burns," Grimm said. He said he was not sure what hospital the man was taken to for treatment. The incident was called in at 10:11 a.m. Grimm said the Ashtabula County Sheriff's Department was first on the scene, and found one man out of the aircraft, then the pilot was pulled from the wreckage. Harpersfield Fire Chief Frank Henry said two fire trucks were sent to the scene from his department, and another from Geneva. He said they were able to put out a small fire and assisted in getting the victims to two ambulances. He said the ambulances were from Northwest Ambulance District, and the man suffering from burns was taken to UH Geneva Medical Center. The pilot was declared dead at the scene, Grimm said. Investigators from the Ashtabula County Coroner's Office were on-scene around 11:30 a.m., as the investigation continued with one lane of traffic allowed on the road. Grimm said the OHP reconstruction team was called to the scene, and an OHP aerial team was able to photograph the area from the air. He said the plane was a 2007 Zenith 701, and was in pieces under a tree on the side of the road. Ashtabula County Sheriff William Niemi said one of his units arrived on-scene and found a man walking outside the plane. "They weren't too far away, and the troopers arrived soon thereafter," he said.

Stolen Dodge Charger Smokes Ohio Troopers Twice
Read the full story on The Auto Wire Dashcam footage released to the public shows a stolen Dodge Charger smoking Ohio troopers twice as they desperately try to keep up. The Hemi-powered Mopar smacks around the cops in their far less powerful cruisers. It's not even close to a fair don't see too many interesting chases from Ohio State Patrol, but of those we've covered they're a mix between utterly embarrassing and at least pretty good. Obviously, troopers there can't do the types of things they can in Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, etc. But we're not sure if troopers in those other states would've fared any better versus this stolen Charger. It looks like a Scat Pack, so it's a legitimately fast muscle car few police cruisers could catch. For the first chase, as soon as it became obvious the trooper was going to give chase, thanks to the broken back window and lack of a license plate, the suspect just dropped the hammer and pulled away effortlessly. It wasn't even a contest. Thanks to the might of the radio, another trooper sees the same distinct Charger a few hours later and tries to give chase. We emphasize the word 'tries' here because it's the same story: the police cruiser can't even begin to keep up with the Mopar muscle car. The suspect wasn't smart enough to put a license plate on the stolen vehicle or fix the broken rear window. But he was smart enough to ditch the car after he was made twice. Police found the stolen Dodge ditched in a parking lot. It also looks like the suspect driver hit something in his flight, damaging one of the tires. A witness tried helping the guy and his accomplice who arrived in another car, but couldn't figure out why they weren't more interested in getting the Charger's tire fixed. We guess fixing a stolen car doesn't seem like a good idea. Thankfully, the owner should be getting the Dodge back with minimal damage, although the insurance company might total it out just for it being stolen.
