North Dakota State Senator and Family Die in Utah Plane Crash; Separate Incident Claims More Lives

North Dakota state senator Doug Larsen, his wife, and two children were killed in a plane crash in Utah. Larsen was piloting the small plane, which crashed shortly after takeoff at an airport in Moab. The tragic incident has been confirmed by authorities, and an investigation is underway. Larsen had recently obtained a commercial pilot's license. The crash in Moab also claimed the lives of a pilot and passenger in a separate incident when a small plane crashed into a house in Oregon.
