2 Passengers, 2 Children On Ground Die As Single-Engine Plane Crashes Into Vacation Home
GEARHART, Ore., Aug. 4, 2008
(CBS/ AP) A single-engine plane crashed into a fogbound coastal home where a family was vacationing Monday, killing the two people in the plane and at least two children on the ground, authorities said.
One more child was still unaccounted for, officials said, and three more people were injured.
City officials in the resort town Gearhart said in a statement that two adults were aboard the plane that crashed before 7 a.m., apparently hitting a tree during conditions that were described as foggy with low clouds.
Six people were in the four-bedroom rental home at Gearhart for a family reunion and vacation, city officials said.
A mother and two children were flown to Portland for treatment at a burn center, said Michael Griffiths, executive director of the regional emergency transport consortium Life Flight.
At the house, the bodies of two children had been recovered, but a third was still missing, City Administrator Dennis McNally said.
Two more people in the family party had gone out for a walk before the crash and were uninjured, McNally said.
