A small plane crashed into a Mississippi home, killing one of the home’s four occupants and three Texas residents who were flying to a university graduation ceremony, authorities said Wednesday.
A National Transportation Safety Board investigator was en route to Hattiesburg, about 90 miles (145 kilometers) southeast of the Mississippi capital of Jackson, to investigate Tuesday’s crash, which caused a fire, the agency said.
Authorities weren’t aware of any distress calls from the Mitsubishi MU-2B-60 but have yet to review air traffic recordings, agency spokesman Peter Knudson said. He confirmed an investigator was being sent to the scene.
Dr. Louis Provenza was a Shreveport native who practiced in Slidell before moving to Texas.
Anna Calhoun was a star volleyball player while in high school in her native Tuscaloosa.
Harper Provenza and her mother were inseparable, family says.
A beloved assistant pastor. A highly praised neurosurgeon. A biology student and talented volleyball player. A 2-year-old girl who was a blessing to everyone around her.
These are the four people who were killed May 4 when an airplane flown by 67-year-old Dr. Louis Provenza crashed into the home of 55-year-old Gerry Standley. Also on board the plane were 23-year-old Anna Calhoun and her daughter, Harper Provenza.
