2 Killed in Small Plane Crash in Michigan

Two people were killed and another person injured after a small plane crashed in the US State of Michigan last night. The single-engine plane that took off from eastern Indiana crashed into a garage in a neighborhood near a northwestern Michigan airport, according to federal officials. Two people were on board the plane that crashed nose-first into the garage along a residential street just north of Charlevoix Municipal Airport, Federal Aviation spokesman Ronald Herwig said. FAA spokeswoman Elizabeth Isham Cory said Charlevoix reported that two people were killed and third person on the ground was seriously injured. The plane had taken off earlier in the day from Smith Field in Fort Wayne, Ind., Herwig said. The crash occurred just north of the municipal airport in Charlevoix, about 165 miles north of Grand Rapids, along Lake Michigan's northeastern shore. The FAA and National Transportation Safety Board are investigating the crash, Herwig said.
