Six people were killed in a plane crash in Ohio Sunday morning, which went down in a wooded area just seven minutes after takeoff, officials confirmed.
Four passengers and two crew members were killed in the twin-engine Cessna 441 crash, which happened around 7 a.m. in Howland Township near Youngstown-Warren Regional Airport.
Western Reserve Port Authority Executive Director Anthony Trevena said at a news conference there were no survivors. The victims have yet to be identified.
Fox 8 obtained 911 calls following the incident, including one in which a caller said he heard a “huge crash.”
Another caller told a Trumbull County 911 dispatcher he was sitting outside having coffee when he saw a “huge amount of smoke” after hearing a plane that sounded “odd” flying overhead.
“There was a big bang. I don’t know what it was,” another caller said.
Flight tracking data showed the plane was bound for Bozeman, Montana, Michael Hillman, president of aviation company JETS FBO Network told AP.
The Federal Aviation Administration and the National Transportation Safety Board are both investigating the crash.
