"It's a small
private aircraft that had come in for a landing. It got to the
end of the runway. It pulled up, banked to the left and crashed
in the trees and caught fire," said Corinne Geller, public
relations manager for the state police.
Investigators were still trying to determine how many people
were on board and their identities, Geller said, though two were
confirmed dead. The plane's point of departure and destination
were also to be determined, she said.
A representative of the Federal Aviation Administration could
not be reached immediately for comment.
Fredericksburg is about 55 miles (90 km) southwest of
Washington, D.C.
