A Republican North Dakota state senator died in a plane
crash along with his wife and two children, according to reports Monday.
The Associated Press reported that the small plane being
flown by Sen. Doug Larson and his family crashed shortly after takeoff,
following a refueling stop in Utah. His death was confirmed by Republican
Senate Majority Leader David Hogue in an email he sent to his fellow senators
and obtained by the AP.
The AP added: “The plane crashed Sunday night shortly after
taking off from Canyonlands Airfield about 15 miles (24 kilometers) north of
the desert recreation town of Moab, according to a statement from the County
Sheriff's Department. Grand posted on Facebook. The sheriff's office said the
senator was the pilot and that all four people aboard the plane were
killed."
“Senator Doug Larsen, his wife Amy, and their two young
children died last night in a plane crash in Utah,” Hogue wrote in his email.
“They were visiting family in Scottsdale and returning home. They stopped to
refuel in Utah.”CBrief
