Three people are dead after a small plane they were in crashed in northern Georgia, the Federal Aviation Administration said.
The plane was a single-engine Cessna and reportedly crashed in Gainesville, Georgia, at about 6:30 p.m. Friday evening near an area with mobile homes. A wing from the plane landed in the bedroom of a mobile home where people were eating dinner, although no one else was injured.
The victims were identified as Dan Delnoce, 44, of Gainesville; Courtney Flanders, 45, of Gainesville; and Matthew Delnoce, 39, of Ohio.
