but first we have new information about
this tragic crash near City Airport
investigators are left trying to figure
out why this plane went down killing two
people and leaving a teen critically
injured hello and thank you for joining
us for local 4 News at Noon I'm a
broadcast me that deadly crash happened
Sunday evening on Detroit's east side
and we've learned that the pilot had
landing gear problems in low fuel the
single-engine Cessna went down in a
vacant lot and sadly two of the three
people who are on board did die local
fours priam and joins us now live with
the very latest pre you were out there
initially when that plane first went
down and Everett we have brand new
information just take a look moments ago
NTSB investigators arrived on scene
they've been unloading some equipment
from their vans and they're talking to
Detroit police as well you can see the
wreckage from that crash last night is
still there and of course the crime
scene has been contained so that NTSB
investigators can figure out why that
plane did crash we're also learning new
information about the victims take a
look
54 year old Greg and 48 year old Julie
Bo's were killed the family was from
Texas we know that Greg's son 17 year
old son who survived had switched seats
with his stepmother he was originally
sitting in the front and during a
layover ask to sit in the back seat
because he was cramped and when the
plane crashed the team's father and his
stepmother were killed and as that
cockpit burst into flames that teen was
able to roll out of a side door city
airport officials say the plane was
looking for a place to land and that
plane may have been out of fuel the
pilot circled the runway attempting to
land in the grass and the tower
eventually lost contact with the plane
crashed in a vacant lot near Van Dyke
and Milton about a mile from City
Airport now we know that the teens
mother had taken a commercial flight to
Detroit the plan was to join her
ex-husband his wife and their son
event here in Detroit she is currently
with her son at the hospital we've been
talking to family members in Texas who
are just devastated but again right now
the big question why did that plane
crash NTSB investigators have just
arrived on the scene a few moments ago
we're hoping to learn more about their
investigation and also talked to this
family and again we have a father and a
stepmother who were killed and just by a
tragic coincidence that stepson asked to
sit in the back seat he was the lone
survivor of this crash so again NTSB is
