BATAVIA, Ohio (AP) — The State Highway Patrol says a
single-engine plane was forced to make an emergency landing on a golf
course in southwest Ohio.
The patrol’s Batavia post says the plane
made the landing shortly before 11 a.m. Saturday on a fairway at the
Stillmeadow Country Club in Clermont County.
A preliminary
investigation indicates the plane experienced engine failure after
taking off from the Clermont County Airport. Investigators say the plane
hit a sand bunker before coming to a stop and rolled partially on its
side on the green.
The patrol identified the two people on board
as pilot Kenneth Howes and passenger and owner Karla Goodhouse, both of
St. Clair, Illinois. No injuries were reported.
The Federal Aviation Administration also responded to the scene.
