Summary
Three people were found dead after a single-engine plane crashed in woods near a Bowie townhouse community and playground late Saturday, Maryland State Police said.
An iPhone crash notification reached Prince George's County public safety dispatchers around 11:30 p.m., but the aircraft was not located until early Sunday morning.
The pilot and two passengers were flying from Ocean City, New Jersey, to Montgomery County, and police believe the plane belonged to a local flight school and was on a training flight.
NTSB and FAA investigators are examining what happened before the crash; authorities have not yet released the victims' identities.
