3 officials killed in Tennessee when the aircraft crash, say civil servants

Sparta, tenn. (WSMV/Gray News) – According to officials, three people were killed in a small plane crash in Tennessee at the weekend.

The pilot Jonathan Braun and the passengers Dylan Clay Davis and his wife Kelsie Lynn Davis, both from Alabama, were killed when the plane went on in White County on Saturday shortly before noon.

Dean Selby, the regional port of Upper Cumberland, said a witness had reduced the plane and called in 911.

The authorities said it took some time to find the crash.

“We actually had one of our pilots up and tried to look out of an air that actually identified the crash site,” said Selby.

The crash was finally found in a field on the Almyra Road.

“We have this airport somewhere between 90 and days, 300 operations a day, and this is the first accident. I am aware that this airport had a death in 15 to 16 years,” said Selby.

The cause of the crash is unknown, but examine the national transportation Safety board and the Federal Aviation Administration.
