CINCINNATI — Officials say two people were killed when a biplane crashed near a football scrimmage at an Ohio high school.
The Ohio State Highway Patrol said the single-engine plane took off Friday night from West Harrison Airport, and crashed within minutes. Sgt. Clint Arnold said it wasn't immediately known if the plane lost power.
Officials said the pilot and a woman passenger died in the crash near McNicholas High School in Harrison.
Parent Ed Meyer said he saw the plane go down as he was watching his son play football. He "It was so sad to see, but there was nothing you could do," he said.
The names of the deceased have not been released.
