Two drivers took evasive action Wednesday when a single-engine Cessna sliced through a utility pole and crashed into a ditch near Peterborough, northeast of Toronto, the Toronto Sun reported. Advertisement Driver and witness Ryan Madill said he rushed to the plane, and the pilot asked "'Where am I? Am I in the U.S.?" Harold Hawley, who lives near Buffalo, N.Y., told Ontario Provincial Police he had taken off from an airport in Rhode Island at 6:30 a.m. and was headed to Akron, Ohio. Some 1,200 people were without power for several hours as a result of the pole falling. Hawley, who said his plane ran out of fuel, is in a Toronto hospital for observation. "Somewhere, somehow, like Bugs Bunny, he missed a turn at Albuquerque," OPP spokesman Constable Bob LaFreniere said. "He certainly flew off his path."
