Two people were killed in a small-plane crash in Davie County on Wednesday afternoon.
Emergency officials have identified the victims as out of state residents, but their names won't be released until they notify family members. The two were the only people on board.
Davie County Fire Marshal Jerry Myers said the plane crashed about 2:30 p.m.
Part of the plane is in a pond behind Twin Lakes Airport in Advance, Myers said.
Investigators from the Federal Aviation Administration and National Transit Safety Board are on site.
A small fire at the site was extinguished before rescuers arrived. Hazardous material crews also contained the aviation fuel spill with absorbent booms, Myers said.
