2 killed in Carroll County plane crash
Two Maryland residents were killed in a plane crash Saturday morning in northwestern Carroll County, police said.
The victims, a man and a woman, were identified by Maryland State Police as Robert H. Kociemba, 61, of the 700 block of St. George-Barber Road in Davidson, and Letty Williams, 66, of the 3800 block of Glebe Meadow Way in Edgewater.
Kociemba is believed to have been the pilot, police said.
Both were pronounced dead at the scene by the Taneytown Volunteer Fire Department.
At about 7:30 a.m. Saturday, Maryland state troopers were dispatched to the area of Sharrett Road, just off Md. 194 in Keymar, for the report of an aircraft crash.
Troopers found the two-seat aircraft crashed in a cornfield, about a quarter mile from the Keymar Airpark, a privately owned airstrip southwest of Taneytown, officials said.
A preliminary investigation indicates the victims took off from the airpark just minutes before the crash. Their destination was unknown.
