Three people and a dog were killed — and another dog survived — when a plane crashed in Indiana on Saturday, authorities said.
A single-engine Cessna that was heading to Frederick, Md., from Kansas City, Mo., crashed into a wooded area just after 9 p.m. near Oldenburg in Franklin County, Indiana police said in a news release. Authorities believe the plane caught fire after it crashed.
Three people and a dog were pronounced dead at the scene. Their names have not been released pending family notification.
Another dog survived the crash and was found at a nearby residence. The dog was taken to the veterinarian and treated for its injuries.
