A Michigan man seriously injured when the airplane he was piloting crashed in a Guernsey County field Wednesday afternoon remained in critical condition at The Ohio State University’s Wexner Medical Center.
A supervisor at the Columbus hospital said Paul Emaus, 54, of Hudsonville, remained hospitalized in the intensive care unit as of Thursday morning.
Emaus was extricated from the heavily-damaged airplane by Cambridge firefighters and United Ambulance crews before being taken by ambulance to Southeastern Med. Once at the Cambridge hospital, he was loaded onto a waiting medical helicopter and flown to Wexner Medical Center.
The State Highway Patrol reported Emaus had departed Columbus in a Beechcraft 35-A33 Debonair prior to the crash.
Witnesses in the area of the crash near the intersection of Losego and October roads adjacent to U.S. 40 east of Cambridge reported the airplane was flying low and appeared to be experiencing engine trouble just minutes before the crash. Witnesses said the engine was “sputtering” and they believed Emaus was trying to land in a field near the crash site when the plane went down.
Emaus’ destination remained under investigation, according to a press release from the patrol’s Cambridge post. Unconfirmed accounts said he was believed to be en route to Maryland.
Emaus was the lone occupant of the Beechcraft 35-A33 Debonair.
Emergency responders were dispatched to the scene behind Southeastern Equipment on U.S. 40 (East Pike Road) just after 3 p.m. Wednesday when witnesses reported the crash.
Cambridge firefighters used mechanical means to cut away portions of the airplane to extricate Emaus after the Beechcraft 35-A33 Debonair crashed into a row of trees at the edge of a field.
Guernsey County Sheriff Jeff Paden and numerous deputies assisted at the scene along with State Highway Patrol troopers investigating the crash.
A tree crew working in the area were the first individuals to reach the crash scene. They along with employees from nearby businesses assisted with removing Emaus from the airplane once he was freed by firefighters and United Ambulance personnel.
Guernsey County sheriff’s deputies assisted with traffic control on U.S. 40 and in the city while Emaus was rushed to Southeastern Med.
Emaus reportedly circled twice, according to witnesses, over the fields near where he crashed just before the airplane went down. The plane landed on its wheels and then crashed into a large row of trees at the southern edge of the field.
The front of the airplane and cockpit sustained extensive damage on impact.
Authorities reported contact with the airplane was lost near the I-70/77 interchange. A dispatch log at the sheriff’s office indicated the pilot had reported a mechanical issue with the Beechcraft 35-A33 Debonair.
The Federal Aviation Administration and the National Transportation Safety Board are also investigating Wednesday’s crash along with highway patrol investigators.
The patrol reported neither drugs nor alcohol appear to a factor in the crash.
