2 KILLED IN PLANE CRASH
INDIO, CA – Authorities are investigating a weekend plane crash that killed an ophthalmologist and his nurse as they returned from a clinic.
The victims were Dr. John R. Hushaw, 45, and Nancy June Duncan, 30, both of Palm Desert, Riverside County Coroner’s Investigator Bob Drake said. Hushaw had offices in Palm Desert and Yucca Valley and flew every weekend to the latter office, said Drake.
The bodies were recovered from Hushaw’s twin-engine Beechcraft Baron Saturday after an aircraft in the area picked up an emergency transmission, Riverside County sheriff’s Sgt. Keith Stinson said. Stinson said Hushaw and Ms. Duncan were returning from Yucca Valley to Bermuda Dunes Airport outside Indio when the crash occurred. They were last heard from about 1:30 p.m. Friday, when Hushaw radioed the Palm Springs airport tower that he had Bermuda Dunes in sight.

BODIES FOUND AFTER PLANE CASH
INDIO, CA – The bodies of a doctor and his nurse were found early Saturday, about 8 ½ hours after their plane crashed into the surrounding foothills Friday night, a Riverside County sheriff’s spokesman said. Dead are Dr. John R. Hushaw, the plane’s pilot, and Nancy June Duncan, 30 both of Palm Desert, said Keith Stinson. The victims and the twin-engine Beachcraft Baron were discovered at 3:30 a.m., 12 miles north of Bermuda Dunes Airport, Stinson said.
Deputies were notified of a possible plane crash at about 7:10 p.m. Friday by Scott Air Force Base in Illinois, which received a report of an emergency transmission from the plane, Stinson said. A plane from the Civil Air Patrol was dispatched to search for the plane and pinpointed the general area of the signal’s origin at about 9 p.m.
With electronic detection equipment, a ground patrol was sent into the area and eventually found the bodies. Weather conditions in the area were cloudy with a slight drizzle, Stinson said. Hushaw, 45, was an ophthalmologist with offices in Rancho Mirage and Yucca Valley. The cause of the crash was unknown and is being investigated by the Federal Aviation Administration.

Manslaughter Charge Due
LAKEPORT – Felony manslaughter, drunken driving and hit and run charges were to be filed today with the Lake County district attorney’s office against a Fremont man who was allegedly responsible for the Wednesday death of a Konocti school teacher.
The charges were to be filed by the California Highway Patrol against David Ned McCann, 58, a retired contractor. McCann reportedly was driving his pickup on Highway 53 in Clearlake Highlands while under the influence of alcohol when he struck and killed Donna Hamilton, 26, Clearlake Park. She was riding her bicycle home from school.
The accident was near the site of a September 15 collision also involving McCann, who reportedly drove into the back of a Konocti school bus. Eight children were injured in the accident.
According to highway patrol reports, McCann had been weaving within his lane and onto to the shoulder of the road prior to the September accident. He apparently failed to see the stopped school bus waiting to turn and hit the bus “without attempting to slow or stop, “the report says.
McCann was cited for drunken driving by the highway patrol. McCann was booked into the Lake County jail after the Wednesday accident.
