Four die when plane crashes into home
(AP) — A small plane crashed into a Mississippi home, killing one of the home’s four occupants and three Texans who were flying to a university graduation ceremony, authorities said Wednesday.
A National Transportation Safety Board investiator was en route to Hattiesburg, about 90 miles southeast of the Mississippi capital of Jackson, to investigate Tuesday’s crash, which caused a fire, the agency said.
Authorities weren’t aware of any distress calls from the Mitsubishi MU-2B-60 but have yet to review air traffic recordings, agency spokesman Peter Knudson said.
He confirmed an investigator was being sent to the scene.
