South Carolina plane crash near golf course leaves 4 dead, 1 injured, FAA says

The FAA confirmed four people were killed and another was injured after a single-engine Piper PA-32 crashed near a golf course in North Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, on Sunday.

Four people were killed and another was injured in a Sunday plane crash in South Carolina near a golf course, officials have confirmed. 

One person was reported to have died Sunday, but the total number of dead rose to four by Monday. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) told Fox News Digital that five people were on board. 

The single-engine Piper PA-32 crashed northwest of Grand Stand Airport in North Myrtle Beach around 11 a.m. on Sunday. 

A visitor to the area, Iris Gaines, told the Myrtle Beach Sun News she spotted the plane flying "sort of crazy like" with one of its wings higher than the other just before the crash.
