WARM SPRINGS, Va. (AP) - State police have identified the two people who survived an airplane crash in Bath County last week.
Sgt. Rick Garletts told news outlets Sunday that 61-year-old Paul S. Furlow, of the United Kingdom, and 49-year-old Siri Njos, of Louisville, Kentucky, were the only two passengers in the four-seat plane Friday afternoon.
Rescue workers found both Fulow and Njos inside the plane after Njos called 911 to report the crash.
Authorities say the plane encountered bad weather while heading to Annapolis, Maryland from Louisville. Furlow tried to find the Ingalls Field airport, but flew too low and caused the plane to strike some trees and crash. The tail and one of the wings was damaged, but the cabin area was left relatively intact.
