In Arizona, five people are killed when a plane crashes through an airport fence and collides with a car

MESA, Ariz. (AP) – A 12-year-old boy was among five people killed in the fiery crash of a small business plane near an airport in suburban Phoenix, authorities said Wednesday.

Preliminary information indicated the six-seat HondaJet HA-420 aircraft was headed to Provo, Utah, when it aborted takeoff at Falcon Field airport in Mesa on Tuesday afternoon. The plane crashed through the airport’s metal fence and then collided with a vehicle traveling on a road west of the airport, according to authorities.

It was not immediately clear why the plane could not take off. The National Transportation Safety Board is leading the investigation with assistance from the Federal Aviation Administration and Mesa authorities.

Four of the five passengers aboard the plane died at the scene, Mesa police said Wednesday. The unidentified pilot was hospitalized with serious burns.

Those on board the plane included 12-year-old Graham Kimball and his 44-year-old father, Drew Kimball. The two other victims were Rustin Randall, 48, and Spencer Lindahl, 43, both of whom were listed as managers of Ice Man Holdings LLC, a company based in Mesa.

The driver of the vehicle also died at the scene. Authorities were withholding the person’s name pending positive identification.
