∼July 24, 2005 - Two Ohio men died Sunday when their white, single-engine Beechcraft airplane crashed in a subdivision off Rawlinson Road, nearly one mile from the Rock Hill/York County Airport, South Carolina officials said.
Eric Anthony "Ted" Johnson, 43, formerly of Rock Hill, of 1611 Evinrude Ave., in Columbus, Ohio, died from head and neck injuries, said York County Deputy Coroner Ev Amick. Johnson, who planned to attend this week's 25th reunion of his Northwestern High School class, died at the scene. He was a lawyer.
In addition, William Coulman, 49, of 1509 Briarmeadow Drive in Worthington, Ohio, died of head and chest injuries, Amick said. Coulman was a dentist.
Matt Sullivan, also of Columbus, was injured and airlifted to Carolinas Medical Center in Charlotte, where he remained in critical condition Sunday night, according to a hospital spokeswoman. The National Transportation Safety Board is expected to arrive this morning and will continue to investigate the accident with the Federal Aviation Administration.
The plane came to rest within inches of a swimming pool clubhouse in the Ridge Pointe subdivision. Witnesses called Johnson, the pilot, a hero for guiding the plane away from nearby swimmers.
Johnson was flying to Rock Hill to spend time with his parents and sister before Friday's reunion, according Teresa Graham, a classmate. Coulman and Sullivan planned to drop off Johnson, according to a friend of Johnson's.
Coulman recently purchased the Beechcraft V35B, Amick said.
The three departed from Ohio State University Airport on Sunday morning, said Arlene Murray, a Federal Aviation Administration spokesperson from New York.
Dr. William Coulman, D.D.S. '91, died July 24,2005 in a plane crash in Rock Hill, South Carolina. Dr. Coulman graduated from The Ohio State University College of Dentistry with a degree in dental hygiene in 1980, and his Doctor of DentalSurgery in 1991. Dr. Coulman worked at his prac-tice, Coulman Dentistry, in Worthington, Ohio until his death. Surviving are his wife, Jane; daughters,Kristen, 23, and Lauren, 19; and a sister. A scholarship fund has been set up in Dr. Coulman's honor.
