CAP: Civil Air Patrol assists at Indiana County Airport Crash


5 January, 2009
A single-engine plane crashed through some trees and landed on its roof on a wooded hillside north of the fog-enshrouded airport in White Township, authorities said.

Paramedics worked on the injured men as they rode in pickup trucks to Airport Road, then took them to Indiana Regional Medical Center for initial treatment. Citizens' Ambulance Service then transported them to the Johnstown hospital because the weather prevented medical helicopters from flying, an emergency responder said.

Emergency Management's Team 900, a wilderness search and rescue unit, set up floodlights at the crash site and members of the Civil Air Patrol kept watch over the scene until representatives of the Federal Aviation Administration could begin their investigation.
