Posted on by Vaseline

A plane attempting to make an emergency landing at an airport in northeastern Ohio has crashed, killing all three people on board, authorities said.

The Federal Aviation Administration reported Saturday that the twin-engine Beechcraft 60 plane crashed Friday evening around 6:45 p.m. near Youngstown-Warren Regional Airport in Ohio.

The Ohio State Highway Patrol station in Trumbull County, notified shortly after 7 p.m. Saturday, said the crash just north of the airport killed the pilot and two passengers. Families of the victims have been notified and names will be released later, officials said.

Anthony Trevena, executive director of the Western Reserve Port Authority, told WKBN-TV that the crash occurred after a plane that was not attached to the air reserve station at the airport came in for an unplanned emergency landing. Mechanical failure is suspected, the station reported.

The National Transportation Safety Board will conduct an investigation, the FAA said in a statement.
