AKRON, Ohio (AP) — An investigation was underway Friday into what caused a small plane to crash into a house in northeast Ohio and explode into flames, killing both people aboard.
The National Transportation Safety Board was leading the review in Akron, alongside the Federal Aviation Administration and Ohio State Highway Patrol, officials said.
The white and blue Piper PA-28-180 took off from Akron Fulton Airport at around 2:45 p.m. on Thursday, according to flight logs, staying aloft for about an hour before crashing into a residential area of the city and catching fire.
