The single engine
Beechcraft crashed Monday evening in the town of Alden, the Polk
County Sheriff's Office said in a press release.
Deputies and fire officials rushed to the scene and after
extinguishing the blaze found four dead inside the wreckage of
the plane, the release said.
The victims' remains were sent to the medical examiner's office
for autopsies and identification, the statement said.
It was not yet clear where the plane took off from or where it
was heading.
The Federal Aviation Administration and the National
Transportation Safety Board will investigate the cause of the
crash, the sheriff's office said.
