There is nothing left of the small plane that crashed in someone’s front yard in Ashtabula County.

The crash happened Sunday morning along State Route 307 in Harpersfield Twp., about an hour west of Erie.  Emergency dispatch communications give a clearer picture of what happened after the crash.

“We have a report of a plane crash in the area of 4250 State Route 307,” a dispatcher said just after 10 a.m. Sunday.

“Dispatch, we’re going to need two squads,” a responder on scene said minutes later. “There [are] two victims. One’s out. One’s critical.”

 Katie Gray lives in a trailer park next to where the plane crashed.

She wasn’t home when it happened, but her security camera caught the plane’s final moments in the air. 

“You see the plane coming out of the right side by the tree line,” she said. “And it comes pretty close to these trailers here, and it lands in the field right next door.”

The woman who lives next door didn’t want to go on camera. She said she still can’t believe what happened.

She was watching a crew clean up what was left of the plane on Tuesday afternoon.

That crew also didn’t want to talk about the crash.

That’s because their friend, 75-year-old Alan Kettunen. His LinkedIn profile listed him as the vice president for Kettunen Aeronautical.

That is a flight school about a mile away. That is where the plane took off from.

His passenger, 59-year-old Jeffery Roth, was hurt. The Zenith 701 plane they were in is described as a kit-built aircraft.

Roth is recovering as people in this small community come to terms with what happened. 

“This is a very quiet community. It’s one of those communities where bad things like this don’t happen,” Gray said.

The cause of Sunday’s crash is unknown.
