Two killed after a small commuter plane carrying up to 10 passengers crashed into an Ohio car dealership Tuesday morning.
The pilot of the 1974 Beechcraft King Air E90 aircraft and a passenger died after the plane crashed in a parking lot at 1000 Pike Street in Marietta. The plane, owned by Intel Management, was en route from Columbus, Ohio to Parkersburg, West Virginia before crashing at 7:00 a.m. about 20 minutes after takeoff.
The crash appears to be between the Pioneer Buick GMC parking lot and the Hensler’s County Market. Eight cars at the dealership were on fire and bystanders could see the remains of the plane.
“I literally just saw this plane crash,” Latoya Rashcelle wrote on Facebook along with a video from the crash site. “It went through the air… did a few somersaults and fell straight to the ground.”
There were no injuries on the ground. It is not known how many people were on the plane.
