Family of 4 die in plane crash
The family, comprising Travis Buchanan, 35, his wife Candace, 35, and their two children, Aubrey, 10, and Walker, 9, had been on a beach weekend in Florida before the fatal accident occurred.
According to Daily Mail, the plane crashed around 1:45 pm on Monday, with first responders rushing to the scene in a wooded area.
The impact of the crash was severe, with the aircraft shattered into pieces and scattered across the grass.
Due to the remote location, authorities faced challenges in reaching the site. The State Highway Patrol confirmed that three family members were pronounced dead at the scene, while the fourth victim was taken to hospital, but later succumbed to injuries.
The Federal Aviation Administration and National Transportation Safety Board launched an investigation into the incident.
An NTSB spokesperson stated that it was early days in the investigation and limited information was available. The aircraft was to be taken to a secure facility for further examination.

This plane crash happened days after a devastating Air India crash at Ahmedabad that ended the lives of over 240 people.
