Planes collide in midair

PINEVILLE, La. (AP) — Two small planes at a recreational-pilots gathering in central Louisiana collided in the air, killing two and injuring two.

Federal Aviation Administration spokesman Lynn Lunsford says each single-engine Cessna 150 carried two people when they hit and crashed into woods Saturday afternoon near Pineville Regional Airport. Lunsford says both people who died were in one plane. He says the second plane’s occupants were taken to a hospital.

The Fall Fly-In was in its second day at the airport.
