UPDATE: The Oklahoma Highway Patrol says two people
injured in a plane crash in Texas County are in critical condition.
The Federal Aviation Administration says a 4-seat, low-wing
Mooney had just left the airport in Hooker when it crashed in a
field northeast of Guymon about 3:20 p.m. Tuesday.
The highway patrol says the aircraft apparently lost power and
crashed about 300 feet east of the runway.
Authorities say the pilot was taken to a hospital in Guymon
after Tuesday’s crash but was later transferred to a hospital in
Amarillo, Texas. The highway patrol says the pilot suffered arm and
internal injuries.
The passenger was taken to Amarillo with leg and internal
injuries.
Authorities say two people were injured
when a small airplane crashed in the Oklahoma Panhandle.
Federal Aviation Administration spokesman Lynn Lunsford says a
4-seat, low-wing Mooney had just left the airport in Hooker when it
crashed in a field northeast of Guymon about 3:20 p.m. Tuesday.
Lunsford said emergency personnel reported that the occupants
suffered broken bones, but he didn’t have any information about
their medical conditions.
According to FAA records, registration for the single-engine,
fixed-wing Mooney M20F is pending. The listing includes an address
in Cheyenne, Wyo., but no name.
Lunsford says the FAA is investigating the crash.
