Crashed on highway today (2/29/06) after hitting a pole during a forced landing, after a reported engine failure. Flight instructor injured, student uninjured. Airplane appears to be totalled from photos in news reports.

The single-engine plane crashed onto the Elgin-O'Hare Expressway less than a mile from the Schaumburg Regional Airport.

On board were 63-year-old John Vafhko, of Bloomingdale, and 18- year-old Kenneth Mattuck Jr., of Palatine.

Vafhko, a flight instructor, was taken to an area hospital with a head wound and was listed in fair condition. Mattuck, a flight student, walked away from the plane without serious injuries.

The crash occurred at around 12:30 p.m. Sunday near Hanover Park, according to a Hanover Park police dispatcher.
