Teen brothers among 3 killed in Kokomo plane crash

Two teenage brothers from Carmel, IN were among the three people killed in a plane crash near an Indiana airstrip at Kokomo Sunday. 17-year-old Liam Patrick Kelly and 15-year-old Reece David Kelly died in the crash. The pilot, 63-year-old Jerral Alan Long of Kokomo, was also killed. Howard County Sheriff's Police reported a third teenager, 17-year-old Cameron Wagler of Greentown, was hospitalized in stable condition.

The investigation shows the Piper PA-32 craft was approaching the Glenndale Airport southwest of Kokomo for a routine landing when it struck a utility pole. The plane nose-dived into a cornfield, where it caught fire. Police reported the three teenagers belonged to a club called the “Flying Squirrels” and were flying before a charity event at the airstrip.
