Two men are dead following an early afternoon plane crash Sunday near the Fort Buhlow Recreation Area in Pineville. Sheriff Mark Wood confirmed that the small plane crashed northwest of the airstrip at Lake Buhlow shortly after take-off.

Sheriff Mark Wood confirmed that the small plane crashed northwest of the airstrip at Lake Buhlow shortly after take-off. Wood said that the pilot and one male passenger were killed. He later confirmed the two dead were Ben Cooper and Blake Cooper, who was the executive director of the Central Louisiana Regional Port Authority. A 7-year-old male survived the crash and was taken to an area hospital. "I’ve talked to the families," he said . "It’s a miracle. It looks like he's going to pull through. It's unbelievable." Wood said that the child suffered head trauma and broken bones, but his injuries appeared not to be life-threatening.

My grandmother used to babysit both of them when they were younger. Apparently 2 of the nicest guys you’d meet. Prayers to their family
