A private plane crashed near the Pitt-Greenville Airport on Friday killing an unspecified number of occupants, authorities said, and an investigation into the crash is ongoing.

A deadly 2023 Utah plane crash was likely caused by the pilot, a North Dakota lawmaker, becoming disoriented while taking off at night without runway lights, federal aviation investigators said. The National Transportation Safety Board said in its final report that Larsen lost his visual reference to the horizon and flew into rocky terrain.

Emergency crews responded to a private plane crash on Friday morning in Greenville. The crash occurred near the intersection of North Memorial Drive and Belvoir Road, close to the Pitt-Greenville Airport.
