An ultralight plane crashed into a northeastern Indiana highway Saturday, killing the pilot.
Clint Alan Glessner, 36, a Warren businessman, was trying to land the plane at a private landing strip near Huntington, about 25 miles southwest of Fort Wayne, according to the Huntington County Coroner's office.
Instead the plane crashed into the southbound lane of Ind. 9, and Glessner was pronounced dead at the scene, the coroner's office said.
Glessner owned Warren Furniture Works and was a past president of the Warren Chamber of Commerce in the town about 15 miles south of Huntington.
