Investigators: Plane in Fatal Oklahoma Crash Lost Power
A preliminary report on a plane crash in northeastern Oklahoma that killed a Grove man says the aircraft lost engine power while in flight.
The report from the National Transportation Safety Board published on Jan. 30 says the pilot tried to make a forced landing after losing engine power and crashed into trees before the plane landed upside down.
The Oklahoma Highway Patrol says 61-year-old pilot Robert Hudson died in the crash on Jan. 25 and was the only person on board the plane.
The NTSB says Hudson had departed from a private airstrip in Jay on a flight to Grove when he crashed.
