Twelve people killed in Missouri plane crash, state highway patrol says | The Jerusalem Post
Twelve people reportedly died in a plane crash on Sunday in Butler, Missouri, the state highway patrol said on social media.
The Missouri State Highway Patrol said the crash occurred near the Butler Memorial Airport.
“At this time reports indicate all occupants (12 total) have perished,” the agency wrote in a post on X/Twitter.
The plane that crashed was a Pacific Aerospace 750XL, a single-engine turboprop that is popular for skydiving, the Associated Press noted.
The plane was taking people to skydive, Patrol Sergeant Justin Ewing told the media.
Emergency responders received a call at approximately 11:30 a.m. that the plane was down and engulfed in fire, Ewing added, calling the scene “brutal.”
“It landed in a field adjacent to the airport, but I think they’re shutting down the roadway just as a precaution,” AP cited Ewing as saying.
Butler is about 60 miles south of Kansas City, Missouri.
