Lancair Destroyed in Serious Crash
Both Aboard Injured

It is unclear just what happened Monday afternoon, as the
Lancair 360 landed at Cox Sky Ranch airport on Alcoa Highway near
Knoxville (TN).

Glenn Griffin of Knoxville, identified as the owner/pilot, broke
his leg and sustained additional damage; his unidentified
passenger, we are told, received very much-more-serious
injuries.

Both men went by ambulance to the nearby University of Tennessee
Medical Center.

The lovely airplane (file photo) was demolished in the
crash, though there was no postcrash fire. The cause of the
accident is under investigation.
