Father, daughter killed in plane crash near Dayton

DAYTON, Ohio (AP) — The University of Dayton has scheduled a prayer service for a student and her father who were killed in single-engine plane crash.

Kacie Hausfeld, a junior early childhood education major who was on the women’s volleyball team, and her father, Thomas Hausfeld, 50, died Thursday in the crash just before 1 p.m. near Dayton-Wright Brothers Airport.

FAA spokeswoman Elizabeth Isham Cory said the private plane was headed for the DuPage Airport in suburban Chicago when the pilot reported that a cargo door was open. The Beechcraft Bonanza crashed as Hausfeld tried to return to the runway.

The university’s service for the campus community will be 9 p.m. Monday on campus.
