of 20,000 feet before crashing.
Several news reports confirm at least one person is dead
from the accident.
Multiple Fluvanna County fire companies and law enforcement
agencies responded to the plane crash in the area of 264 Miles Jackson Road. Kents
Store Volunteer Fire Company advised residents to avoid the area.
“If you live in the area affected by the plane crash
(Courthouse Road, Oak Creek Road, Miles Jackson Road) and you locate a piece of
the wreckage, contact the sheriff's office immediately and please do not
