The Ohio Highway Patrol says the pilot of small plane that crashed in a Fairfield County cornfield Saturday night remains hospitalized in Columbus with non-life-threatening injuries. 

Troopers say 89-year-old pilot Allen Dupler of Millersport took off in the 1968 Cessna 105J crop duster from a private runway and struck some electrical wires, causing the craft to catch fire.
