McARTHUR, Ohio (AP) — A hospital says a third person has
died after a single-engine plane crashed near a small airport in rural
southeastern Ohio.
A coroner’s office said two women onboard were
killed and the pilot was injured when the aircraft crashed Saturday
afternoon near the Vinton County Airport, about 50 miles southeast of
Columbus.
The Ohio State University Medical Center in Columbus
says the pilot, 54-year-old Kevin Byers of Baltimore, Ohio, died early
Sunday morning.
Authorities identified the women who died as
78-year-old Eudora Byers of Mansfield, Ohio, and 50-year-old Siobhan
Reynolds of New Mexico.
Vinton County coroner’s investigator Steve
Huston said the plane apparently was approaching the
runway but ended up along a road parallel to the airport.
