SMALL AIRPLANE CRASHES

NEAR WESTVILLE AIRPORT

A single-engine Piper crashed into a shed owned by Bill Light across Route 166 from the Cooperstown/Westville Airport about 8 p.m. Monday. The plane belonged to Frank Toth, the contractor. There was a second person and a dog in the craft as well, Light said. The plane, traveling from the northeast north of the airport, came over the tree line, hit the lawn next to 166, lost a wheel, then skidded toward the shed. A wing struck the shed, slowing down the aircraft. Light said neither Toth or the others appeared to be injured. (Jim Kevlin/allotsego.com)
