Four young men died early Saturday morning in a single-engine Cessna 172 crash about 300 feet south of St. George Municipal Airport in St. George, Utah, reports the Deseret News.
Two of the victims were from Santa Clara, one from Washington City and another from St. George.
The crash was not discovered until 6 a.m. when airport staff began to return to work. Though there were no eyewitnesses nor airport personnel present at the time, it is believed that the crash happened about 1:30 a.m.
This aviation accident's cause is a mystery. It is not yet known who was piloting the plane nor who owns it. Because the airport is not staffed at night, whether the aircraft was taking off or landing is also unknown at this time.
The assistant city manager said that reaching the airplane immediately would not have made any difference to the four people on board, "Even if we could have discovered this within minutes, it's apparent that there were no survivors and everyone died on impact."
The crash will be investigated by the National Transportation Safety Board, which typically takes a week or two for a preliminary report and several months for a probable cause report.
The aviation accident attorneys at Nurenberg, Paris, Heller & McCarthy send our condolences to the family and friends of the four young men who died in this crash.

When an insurance company in Ohio calculates that a wrecked vehicle’s repair cost is more than its actual cash value (ACV), it will deem that vehicle a total loss—or “totaled.” This is more common than you think. Around 25% of car accidents result in at least one vehicle being considered totaled by an insurance company. […]

People in Ohio typically only wait a short time for emergency responders to arrive when they or someone else calls 911 after a crash. However, waiting even a few minutes for help to arrive can seem like an eternity when you’re seriously injured. Sometimes, a short delay can be the difference between life and death. […]
