NTSB summary
HISTORY OF FLIGHT On August 15, 1998, at 2305 eastern daylight time, a Cessna 152, N93784, was destroyed when it collided with a vehicle following a forced landing to the Ronald Reagan Cross County Highway, 1 mile south of the Cincinnati-Blue Ash Airport (ISZ), Blue Ash, Ohio. The certificated private pilot and the two occupants of the vehicle were fatally injured. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed for the personal flight that originated at Terre Haute, Indiana, at 2125, destined for ISZ. No flight plan was filed for the flight conducted under 14 CFR Part 91. The pilot departed ISZ, approximately 1100, and flew to the Hulman Regional Airport (HUF), Terre Haute, Indiana, to perform duty as a medical officer with the Indiana Air National Guard (IANG). In a telephone interview, the Commander of the IANG unit stated the pilot arrived "...around noon..." and spent the afternoon performing physical examinations. He said the pilot briefly attended a unit social function after work and departed for the airport with an Airman from the unit, approximately 2000.
