Published November 17, 2014
HIGH POINT, N.C. -- Federal authorities say two people are dead after their plane crashed into a house in central North Carolina.
Federal Aviation Administration spokeswoman Kathleen Bergen says both people aboard the small aircraft were killed Wednesday when the plane crashed into a house in High Point. She says the plane was flying from Wilmington to Winston-Salem but was diverted to Greensboro because of bad weather.
Bergen says the plane crashed short of the runway at Piedmont Triad International Airport and hit a house, which witnesses said caught fire.
Neighbors tell The Associated Press that the plane hit the back of the house and its residents then escaped through the front.
