6 dead after plane crashes into Ohio backyard
The twin-engine Cessna 441 went down around 7 a.m., a few miles from Youngstown-Warren Regional Airport, located in Howland Township, about 20 miles east of Akron, reported the Akron Beacon Journal, part of the USA TODAY Network.
There were no survivors, Western Reserve Port Authority Executive Director Anthony Trevena said in a Sunday press conference.
Trumbull County Coroner Lawrence D'Amico identified the victims on Monday, multiple outlets reported. Pilot and co-pilot Joseph Maxin, 63, and Timothy Blake, 55, were among the dead, along with passengers James Weller, 67, his wife Veronica Weller, 68, their son John Weller, 26, and his wife Maria Weller, 34. The family was headed to Montana on vacation, D'Amico told local media.
Officials told area news station WTOL11 that the plane crashed into a backyard of a home two miles from the airport, making the crash site "difficult" to access.
Emergency crews from the Howland Fire Department and the Youngstown Air Reserve Station responded to the crash site and put out the resulting fire. Trumbull County hazmat crews worked to contain and clean up spilled fuel from the wreckage.
The cause of the crash remains under investigation by the National Transportation Safety Board, which sent investigators to the scene.

Watch: New Cedar Point ride strands riders on opening day
July 1 (UPI) -- The newest ride at Ohio's Cedar Point amusement park "experienced a delay" on the first day it opened to the public and left riders stranded in a vertical position for at least 10 minutes. Tony Clark, a spokesman for the Sandusky park, told the Akron Beacon Journal that Siren's Curse "experienced a delay" when riders reached the tilt-coasters area of track where the passenger car is stopped to turn on a 45-degree angle. "The coaster's safety system performed as designed, the ride was restarted, and guests continued their ride," Clark said. "Siren's Curse reopened shortly after and all guests exited the ride safely." Riders said they were stranded in a vertical position for at least 10 minutes. A video posted to TikTok captured the moment technicians were able to return riders to the upright position. The ride was closed for about 25 minutes before resuming normal operation. The incident occurred Saturday, which was Siren's Curse's official opening day for the general public, after it opened to season pass holders Friday.
