The Little Rock Police Department say that a twin-engine plane went down in an area between the city’s airport and the 3M Little Rock plant on Wednesday.
The Federal Aviation Administration has confirmed that the plane was a twin-engine BE20 departing the airport for John Glenn Columbus International Airport in Ohio.
The FAA stated that the plane had five people on board, and deputies at the scene said there were no survivors found, reported KARK.
All five people killed in the accident worked for consulting firm CTEH, which provides response services, including “environmental data collection, and management, GIS, safety, incident management, industrial hygiene, toxicology and human health consulting for the public and private sectors.”
“We are incredibly saddened to report the loss of our Little Rock colleagues,” said Dr Paul Nony, senior vice president of CTEH.
