Georgia family dies in plane crash returning from Cooperstown, NY

A family of five on their way home from a baseball tournament died in a small plane crash in New York state on Sunday.

The family was en route to Charleston, West Virginia, when the plane, a single-engine Piper Malibu Mirage, crashed in a wooded area in Masonville, N.Y., about 100 miles southwest of Albany, under “unknown circumstances,” the Binghamton Press & Sun Bulletin, part of the USA TODAY Network, reported.

The small plane was scheduled to make a brief pit stop in Charleston to refuel before landing in Atlanta, the group's final destination. New York State Police discovered the “downed plane” amid debris just after 2 p.m. Sunday, but found no survivors, a news release said.
