Northeast Texas Plane Crash Kills Three Utah Men

Three men were killed when their small plane crashed in Northeast Texas on Saturday Morning.

Texas Department of Public Safety said the victims were from Utah and the pilot had just taken off from an airport near Paris, Texas, when the plane went down.

DPS identified the men as 50-year-old Michael Endo, 44-year-old Michael Dale Bradley, and 49-year-old Rob Thompson.

The Salt Lake Tribune reports that all three worked for Utah-based Celtic Bank.

There was no immediate word on the cause of the crash. The Public Safety Departments says it was reportedly foggy and the plane was headed south before it attempted to turn back toward the airport and descended rapidly and crashed.
