Plane crash in Utah backyard kills baby and parents

A single-engine plane carrying six people has crashed into the backyard of a house in a suburban Salt Lake City shortly after 1:30 p.m. Saturday, resulting in the deaths of a 9-month-old child, a woman and the man piloting the aircraft. The aircraft had just depart South Valley Regional Airport, UT (U42) and was heading for Page Airport, AZ (PGA/KPGA). The injured passengers of the Piper PA-32 include an adult female who is in critical condition, a 2-year-old child in stable condition and a 12-year-old child who was treated and released, according to West Jordan police. The only person reported injured on the ground, a woman whose house at W. Piccadilly Circle was struck by the plane, is in critical condition, police said.
Joe Murillo, who identified himself as the 72-year-old woman’s brother, said she was badly burned. She had lived in the home about 20 years, he said. West Jordan police said the victim’s identities will be released once police are able to notify their next of kin. Murillo said his sister’s house took the brunt of the crash. Police said three houses sustained damage. Mayor Dirk Burton said neighbours rushed to the crash site to help their neighbours and help the woman escape her home. “I don’t know what her condition is,” Burton said, but he said he took it as a positive sign that she was able to leave the house. Burton said the crash occurred in an established neighbourhood, with many of the houses owned by the original owners.
