On the local news it is breaking news that the lieutenant governor Andre Bauer has crashed an ultra light with one other person in it near the NC/SC state line. The crash occurred around 6:15 EDT. He was reported to be conscious and alert. He was taken either to Spartanburg Regional Hospital or Greenville Memorial, I am hearing both on different stations.
Lt Gov Bauer had recently been in the news because of questions about several instances where he was stopped for speeding but not ticketed. His re-election ad campaign started recently. The plane caught fire during the crash according to WISTV out of Columbia SC.
