A small plane crashed into the shoulder of Nashville’s Interstate 40 and burst into flames Monday night, killing a Canadian family of five, police said.
Two adults and three children were on the plane, National Transportation Safety Board air safety investigator Aaron McCarter said Tuesday.
The victims were identified as pilot Victor Dotsenko, 43, his wife, Rimma Dotsenko, 39, and their three children, David, 12; Adam, 10; and Emma, 7, the Metropolitan Nashville Police Department said in a statement Wednesday.
The plane was approved for an emergency landing at John C. Tune Airport after reporting engine and power failure around 7:40 p.m., Metro Nashville Police Department spokesperson Don Aaron said.
But the pilot soon told air traffic control that they wouldn’t make it to the tarmac. (CNN)
