FREMONT, Neb. (AP) — The NTSB on Saturday confirmed that it is investigating the crash of a single-engine plane into a river in eastern Nebraska Friday night, killing three people.
The plane was traveling along the Platte River and crashed into the water south of Fremont at 8:15 p.m., Sgt. Brie Frank of the Dodge County Sheriff’s Office said during a news conference.
The bodies of three people were recovered, Frank confirmed.
Authorities did not immediately release the identities of the deceased. The NTSB said the airplane was a Cessna 180.
