2 Hurt In Small Plane Crash Near College Station

CALDWELL (AP) ― Two men are hospitalized after the crash of a small plane on a Central Texas baseball diamond.

Authorities say the single-engine Cessna was flying from Sugar Land to Waco when 39-year-old pilot Cole Reed of Georgetown experienced engine problems.

He tried to make an emergency landing at the Caldwell airport, but the plane struck a light pole at the nearby baseball field and crash landed on the infield about 6 p.m. Wednesday.

There were no injuries on the ground, where players and coaches were in the outfield. Reed is in critical condition at Scott and White Hospital in Temple. His 24-year-old passenger, Bryan Farney of Taylor, is in serious condition at St. Joseph Regional Health Center in Bryan.

Caldwell is about 65 miles northeast of Austin and just west of College Station.
