Story Reveals Details Hubbard Crash
Near Fairbanks Yesterday. \Uiich
Killed One, In jured Two Others
(By The Associated Press)
FAIRBANKS, July 16, — Mrs.
N rah Lehto was killed and Miss
Betty Lehto and Pilot Percy Hub
bard were critically injured in
an airplane crash near the Uni
versity of Alaska Campus Wed
nesday, when the plane went in
to a tailspin at an altitude of
1,500 feet and crashed into a
clump of trees.
Hubbard took off in the pon
toon equipped plane from Chena
Slough on a pleasure hop.
The plane was owned by Doct
or Bart LaRue of Ruby who is
now in Seattle. It is a total wreck
now.
Miss Lehto suffered cuts about
[the head and internal injuries.
! Hubbard’s right leg was fract
ured at the ankle and he also
sustained other injuries.
The Lehtos came here recently
(from Baycenter, Washington.
Pilot William Lavery went to
I the scene of the accident which
i was about four miles from here.
A copy of yesterday's Daily
j News-Miner which was brought
to Nome by The Mirow Air Ser
vice plane late last evening, con
tained the following story of the
crash:
Seen By Many In City
The tragic descent of the plane
was seen by many persons in
Fairbanks, and word of the acci
dent was immediately commun
icated from numerous sources to
offices of Dr. F. B. Gillespie, and
of US. Commissioner W N Grow
den, acting coroner.
Aviator William K. Lavery, had
made an ascent in the LaRue
plane just prior to its use by
Pilot Hubbard, and saw the tail
spin descent from Fairbanks. Mr.
Lavery telephoned the Fire Hall
for the ambulance. He then has
tened to the scene of the accident
Lived tor Few Minutes
Mrs. Lehto was still breathing
when Dr. Gillespie, Commission
er Growden, Mr. Lavery and the
ambulance reached the wrecked
airplane. She succumbed about
15 minutes following the acci
dent.
Commissioner Growden announ
ced that the cause of death was
obvious and no inquest was nec
essary,
The ambulance first hastily took
to the hospital Pilot Hubbard and
Miss Lehto, where they were giv
en immediate surgical and medi
cal treatment by Dr. Gillespie &
his assistants.
Later the body ot Mrs. Lehto
was brought to town and taken
to the Hosea H. Ross mortuary.
Lavery Gives His Views
Mr. Lavery, in giving his views
of the accident said:
"The plane on reaching a hei
ght of 1.500 feet after taking off.
seemed to bank, and go into a
tailspin. It struck the earth nose
down amid a dump of poplar
trees about 20 feet high. The
place where it struck is only
about 50 feet from a small slough
of water. Evidently Pilot Hub
bard. although he could not get
out of the tailspin. was trying to ;
land the plane in this water.
“The motor of the plane seems ;
to be in place. The wings and
rest of the plane are a mass of
wreckage, some of which are em- 1
bedded in the earth.
Mrs. Huber and her children '
saw the plane descending.
Mrs. Huber described the des- '
cent as rather slow and of a ^
spiral nature.
Pilot Hubbard was conscious ^
when persons reached the scene
of the wreck. He was mentally
confused from the shock, how ever ,
"Get them to the hospital.” was *
his admonition to Commissioner ,
Growden.
Mrs. Lehto's husband, A. W.
i
Lehto, is employed by the Fair
banks Exploration Department.
He has been with the company
since June 1933.
Mrs. Lehto, who was about 35
years old, was employed as a :
waitress at the Chena Grill.
Miss Lehto, aged 1G, had been
employed at times as a waitress
at the lunch counter and soda
fountain in the Cooperative Drug
Store.
Mr and Mrs. Lehto and their
daughter came to Fairbanks from
Bay Center, Wash.
Pilot Hubbard is one of the
best known aviators in Alaska,
He has had charge of the LaRue
plane since its owner went on a
trip to the States a few weeks
ago.
