Plane crash near Ohio airport kills 3; federal authorities investigating

VIENNA, Ohio (AP) — Authorities say a plane trying to make an emergency landing at an airport in northeastern Ohio crashed, killing all three people aboard. The Federal Aviation Administration said Saturday that the twin-engine Beechcraft 60 went down near the Youngstown-Warren Regional Airport in Ohio at about 6:45 p.m. Friday. The Ohio State Highway Patrol said the pilot and two passengers were killed. The highway patrol said a mechanical failure is suspected, and the aircraft was reported as trying to make an emergency landing before it went down “near one of the runways.” The National Transportation Safety Board will investigate.
