Muscle Shoals Family Killed in South Carolina Plane Crash
Four members of an Alabama family from Muscle Shoals died when their private twin Beechcraft crashed near Sumter, South Carolina. The group had visited a son stationed at Shaw Air Force Base and were returning home when engine trouble and a sharp angle forced the wreck in a cotton field two miles from U.S. 15. The plane burst into flames as it broke apart, with the tail section separating from the fuselage.
