1952-07-19 Deep River, Ontario, Canada: Aircraft crashed into mountain after take off.

One Killed, Two Hurt In Airplane Crash

     DEEP RIVER. One. (AP) — An American-owned amphibian plane crashed into the side of a heavily-wooded mountain Saturday, killing one man and injuring two others.
     Killed instantly was Charles Johnston, Deep River, operator of a fishing and hunting camp from which the plane took off only a few minutes before it crashed.
     Brought out to a hospital here by stretcher, ambulance and boat from the forest country were William Wilt, Albany, N. Y., the pilot and Percy Lance, Deep River. Both were reported in critical condition in the hospital of this residential town near Canada’s Chalk River plant.
     Wilt arrived at Johnston’s camp at the Des Moines River Saturday morning after flying from Albany with Clayton John, Gloversville, N. Y., for a week or 10 days of fishing. Johnston and Lance agreed to go with Wilt to a small lake that afternoon after John said he’d rather try his luck at the camp.
