Mesa police identify people killed after plane crashes, hits car near Falcon Field

MESA, AZ (AZFamily) — Authorities have identified four of the five the people who died after a plane crashed at a Mesa airport and hit a car late Tuesday afternoon.

The crash happened around 4:45 p.m. near Greenfield and McKellips roads , just southwest of Falcon Field Airport.

A Honda HA-420 jet crashed at the airport and appears to have slid through the fencing before striking a vehicle outside of the airport property.

Five people were aboard the plane, four of whom died at the scene.

They were identified as:

Spencer Lindahl, age 43

Rustin Randall, age 48

Drew Kimball, age 44

Graham Kimball, age 12

Sources confirmed to Arizona's Family that Randall was the pilot. The group was reportedly flying to Provo, Utah.

Mesa police say one person on the plane survived and is hospitalized with burn injuries.

The driver of the vehicle was also killed in the fiery crash but has not been identified since next-of-kin notifications are ongoing.

Greenfield Road is still closed in both directions from McKellips to McDowell as of Wednesday morning. Police ask drivers to be cautious in the area as investigators are on the scene.

Aerial video from the AZFamily News Chopper showed heavy smoke billowing from a road near the airport where the airplane and vehicle collided.

It's unclear what led up to the crash.

The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) is leading the investigation into the crash.
