CHARLESTON, W.Va. (WSAZ) -- Two people have died after a plane crashed into the hillside at Yeager Airport in Charleston Friday, a county spokesperson confirms to WSAZ.
Yeager Airport spokesperson Mike Plante says the Air Cargo Carrier crashed into the hillside upon landing. The plane is located in the wooded area off Keystone Drive so first responders are having difficulty accessing the plane.
Initial reports said there were four people on board, but that has since been changed to two. A county spokesperson now confirms those two people have died.
When emergency crews arrived on scene they reported heavy entrapment.
