Two dead in Morgan County plane crash
Two bodies have been recovered from the scene of a small plane crash in northeastern Morgan County, the Ohio State Highway Patrol reported.
The names of the individuals were not immediately available Monday night, but there were only two people on the plane’s flight log, said Sgt. Jeremy Landis, public information officer with the Ohio State Highway Patrol.
Peter Knudson, with the National Transportation Safety Board, said the plane disappeared off radar at 10:12 a.m. Monday. The plane was talking with Cleveland Center, an air traffic control center, when it was last on radar, he said.
Landis said local authorities learned of the crash around 1:35 p.m. Monday, but he did not have specific details about who made the call or how the crash was discovered.
The plane, a Beechcraft Bonanza 35, crashed between Ohio 284 and Ohio 83 in Bristol Township, Landis said. He described the area it landed in as extremely wooded.
