Ohio officials say brothers killed in plane crash

HAMILTON, Ohio (AP) — Authorities say the two men killed when a small plane crashed into a southwest Ohio suburban neighborhood were brothers.

The Butler County sheriff’s office says the men killed Saturday have been identified as 49-year-old Steven Krummen of Mason and 40-year-old Jeffrey Krummen of West Chester Township.

Sheriff Richard Jones says preliminary investigation indicated the pilot lost control of the plane. The 1994 Acro Sport II biplane hit a residence, then crashed and burst into flames. No residents were injured.

Residents of the Liberty Township neighborhood where the plane crashed say the pilot appeared to be doing stunts before it nosed downward. Authorities say the two men were said to be experienced fliers.

The National Transportation Safety Board and the Federal Aviation Administration are investigating.
