A standout Indiana high school basketball player with the promise of playing at the University of Michigan is fighting for his life after surviving the second plane crash of his young life.
Austin Hatch, 16, of Fort Wayne, Ind., remains in a critical condition in a northern Michigan hospital after the Friday evening crash that killed his father, Dr. Stephen Hatch, and his stepmother, Kim.
Austin and his pilot father had survived a 2003 crash that killed Austin's mother and two siblings.
"He never talked about (the previous crash) one time," said Dan Kline, the basketball coach at Canterbury School in Fort Wayne, Ind. "I'm sure he carried it inside."

"Steve was a very big family man," Bojrab said.
"Though perhaps not the world's greatest pilot," he added.
Maybe Dr. Hatch should retire his pilot's license. Geez.
Well, he's dead now, so I guess that automatically retires the pilot's license.
