Five persons killed in Wednesday's crash of a light plane in rolling hills near the Colorado-New Mexico border were identified Thursday as an Illinois doctor and his four children. They were pilot Dr. Robert Allen Harp of Springfield and his children, Raye, 18; Rhonda Lee, 16; Robert, 14, and Richard, 11.
The crash occurred Wednesday. The crash was the second within 10 days in the area. Last week, two Canadian men were killed in the crash of their light plane atop Wolf Creek Pass. A sheriff's deputy said Harp's plane crashed during a rainstorm while attempting to take off from the La Plata County Airport at Durango.
A witness said the airplane went into a spin and plowed into a nearby field. A spokesman for the National Transportation and Safety Board said the twin-engie airplane was attempting to gain altitude at the time of the accident. Authorities said all the victims apparently died on impact.
She was survived by her mother, grandparents Mr. and Mrs. Fred Millard and many aunts, uncles and cousins.
