Plane Crash in Ohio Kills 4

By Jenny Albano

According to the Ottawa County Sheriff's Department, A plane crash in northwest Ohio killed four people on Saturday, January 12 at around 1 P.M.

Many different agencies, including The Ottawa County Sheriff's Department, the Fremont Post of the Ohio Highway Patrol, and others responded to the scene of the crash.

The crew of the twin-engine Cessna 340 announced their intention to land at the Erie-Ottawa Regional Airport over the radio about noon, airport director Jack Stables said. He did not know where the flight originated. Stables said he watched the plane fly across a field near the airport to begin the landing pattern with no indication of distress.

The small Cessna 340, that can fit six passengers, crashed in a rural area around 200 to 300 feet from a house. The plane looked like it was preparing to land because its landing gear and flaps were down. No one on the ground reported any injuries.

The sheriff's department did not know how many people were on the plane and could not identify the deceased. No other details of the crash were immediately known and disclosed.
