A medical plane crashed overnight, killing all five people onboard, including a girl en route to a hospital, authorities said. A search helicopter found the wreckage early Monday.
Tracy Smith and her daughter, 15-month-old Lily Smith, were among those killed, said Peter Olson, a spokesman for the state Department of Public Safety.
Police have not released the identities of the 56-year-old pilot, a 44-year-old nurse and a 40-year-old paramedic, pending family notification, Olson said.
There were reports of nearby thunderstorms earlier in the evening, but it wasn't known if weather was a factor in the crash.
