Commuter Makes Crash
Landing On Highway
VANCOUVER, B. C., UP) Pilot
Ben Buntain, who says he regu
larly commutes to work between
California and Fairbanks, took his
mother along as a passenger last
week — and had to make a crash
landing on the highway near Clin
ton, about 160 air miles northeast
of Vancouver.
Buntain and his mother, Mrs.
Irene Berks, both of Junction City,
Calif., escaped with minor injur
ies, but the light plane suffered
heavy damage.
“The engine simply stopped, so
I told mother not to worry, and
put her down on the highway,”
said Buntain.
“It seemed the only logical
place. It was bumpy but success
ful.”
Buntain is an electrical lineman
in Fairbanks.
