BELLEVILLE, Ill. -- A small plane that slammed into a house and hangar in a subdivision built for aviation enthusiasts never sent out a distress signal before crashing, authorities said Monday. Two people believed to be on board were presumed killed.
No one on the ground was injured when the single-engine Piper Malibu went down in rain Sunday evening in the Aero Estates Court subdivision while approaching St. Louis Downtown Airport, just east of St. Louis, St. Clair County Sheriff's Capt. Steve Johnson said.
Airport director Bob McDaniel said the plane, which can seat up to six passengers, was based at the airport and was flying from Vero Beach, Fla.
