Woman on couch among 2 killed in plane crash

NORTH MYRTLE BEACH, S.C. – A small plane has crashed into a recreational vehicle park at a South Carolina beach town, killing the pilot and a woman seated on a couch inside an RV.

Federal Aviation Administration spokeswoman Kathleen Bergen says the pilot was trying to land the single-engine Cessna at an airport Tuesday when he missed the runway. The plane crashed a half-mile away in the Briarcliffe RV Resort in North Myrtle Beach.

Horry County Coroner Robert Edge says the pilot and the woman in the RV were killed. Their names have not been released.

Town spokesman Pat Dowling says the woman and her husband were sitting in the RV's living room. Dowling says the man was taken to a hospital with burns, and no one else in the RV park was injured in the crash.
