Search Resumes For Third Plane Crash Victim In West Georgia

Divers will be back in the water of a small lake near Carrollton this morning looking for a third plane crash victim from Sunday. Authorities say three people were aboard a Cessna 182 and believed headed toward the NASCAR race in Hampton when it crashed around 9am Sunday. The bodies of a man and woman were recovered soon after officials arrived on the scene. The search for the third body was suspended about 10 o’clock last night. Divers had recovered a section of one wing and a majority of the fuselage. An FAA spokesperson said the plane left McCollum Field in Kennesaw early Sunday morning but filed no flight plan.
