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
