Plane Crash Kills 2 in W.Va.



Officials say a married couple from Ohio died after their plane crashed in West Virginia.

The small plane was on its way from Akron, Ohio, to Spartanburg, S.C., when it crashed about 5 p.m. Friday near Riverside in eastern Kanawha County.

The National Transportation Safety Board on Saturday identified those killed as 50-year-old Lazarus Sommers and his 56-year-old wife, Maryann Sommers. The couple was from Millersburg, Ohio.

Initial reports indicate the pilot of the Piper PA-32 had reportedly asked for help navigating around bad weather.
