Covington firefighters responded to a plane crash that killed two people Thursday at the General Mills food processing plant.
The small plane crashed apparently after taking off from the runway of the Covington Municipal Airport.
Six tractor-trailers were damaged as a result of the crash. Both occupants of the plane died.
However, the local officials were grateful that the plane did not strike the plant building, which could have resulted in greater loss of life.
The National Transportation Safety Board is currently investigating the cause of the crash.
