Provo (Utah), November 15: Two people were killed, and a third sustained injuries when a small plane crashed in the mountains south of Salt Lake City. The two apparently died on impact and the third was walking around when rescuers arrived in the area east of Provo around midday Tuesday, Utah County Sheriff's Sgt.

The plane went down for unknown reasons in a rugged, treed area partly covered in light snow. Rescuers in a helicopter hauled the injured person out on a litter and flew them to a hospital, Cannon said. “The fact that they're walking around is at least an initial good sign,” Cannon said. “That person was still moving and talking.” Florida Plane Crash: Pilot Spends Nine Hours on Crashed Cessna 172 Aircraft’s Wing Before Being Rescued in Everglades (Watch Video)
