PROVO — A small plane crashed into Utah Lake Friday morning, killing the two men inside.
Spencer Cannon with the Utah County Sheriff’s Office said the single-engine plane went down just after 10 a.m., approximately half a mile northwest of the Provo airport. Cannon said the aircraft had been cleared to land there.
The sheriff’s office said that Michael Hyrum Cox, 44, from St. George, and Mark Andrew Johnson, 46, from Washington, Utah, were missing for several hours but were found dead inside the plane wreckage.
The office believes Cox was the plane’s pilot and Johnson was the passenger. Both bodies are being taken to the state medical examiner.
“In this case, anybody who saw the crash would think there is no way anybody could have survived that it was a significant crash that caused substantial damage to the plane,” Spencer said.
