Four people were killed and one was injured in a small plane crash in Kansas May 11. According to The National Transportation Safety Board, the twin-engine Cessna 401 crashed at approximately 4:30 p.m. just northwest of Chanute, Kansas. The plane reportedly caught fire after the crash.
The four people that died in the crash have been identified as pilot Luke Sheets, 23, of Wisconsin; Austin Anderson, 27, of Oklahoma; Garrett Coble, 29, of Oklahoma and Stephen Luth, 22, of Muscatine, Iowa. Hannah Luce, 22, of Garden Valley, Texas, was taken to University of Kansas Medical Center for severe injuries.
The plane was on its way to a Christian youth rally in Iowa when it went down.
"The plane lost contact with air traffic control after getting permission to descend to a lower altitude," said NTSB spokesman Peter Knudson. "After that, there was no further communication."
