BRISTOL TOWNSHIP, Ohio -- Investigators in Ohio say two people were killed in a small plane crash near Zanesville. Flight records show the plane took off at Huntington Tri-State Airport.
According to Peter Knudson at the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB), a Beechcraft 35 Bonanza disappeared off radar and lost contact with the Cleveland air traffic control center Monday morning.
Knudson says there were two people on board when it crashed.
The crash site is an extremely wooded area in Bristol Township in Morgan County.
The Ohio State Highway Patrol says two bodies have been recovered from the wreckage.
According to flight records for the plane, it took off from Tri-State Airport at 10:10am Monday and was expected to arrive in Rochester, New York, at 12:31pm. Records show the plane was to fly to Montreal, Canada, a few hours later.
Larry, Salyers, Director of Tri-State Airport, says the plane made a planned stop in Huntington on Saturday -- and mechanics there replaced the battery in the plane. He says a man and a woman were the ones flying with the plane.
No word yet what caused the crash or who was on board. The plane is registered to a man from Cullman, Alabama.
