Barrington man remembers son, wife who were killed in DC air collision

A Barrington teen and his mother were on the jet that collided with an Army helicopter while landing at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport on Wednesday night.

 

Skating Club of Boston CEO Doug Zeghibe said 16-year-old Spencer Lane and his mother, Christine, were among 60 travelers and four crew members on the plane.

 

Douglas Lane told 12 News that he and his wife Christine adopted their two sons, Spencer and Milo, from South Korea.

 

He described Spencer, who was their oldest son, as a “force of nature.”

 

“Whether he was in his home club in Boston, [Spencer] was just loved by everyone,” Douglas explained. “From adults running the club to smaller skaters, to the people that are competing for a shot at the Olympics, they all adored him.”
