Three people were killed Saturday when a single-engine plane crashed in a wooded area near Sparta.
The plane was headed to the Upper Cumberland Regional Airport when it went down, and all aboard were pronounced dead at the scene.
The Federal Aviation Administration responded shortly after the crash, and the National Transportation Safety Board is now leading the investigation.
Authorities have identified the victims as pilot Jonathan Braun and passengers Dylan Clay Davis and Kelsie Lynn Davis; the cause of the crash remains under review.
