Travis Buchanan, Candice Buchanan Obituary, Death – A tragic plane crash in Lee County, North Carolina, claimed the lives of four family members on Monday afternoon. According to the North Carolina State Highway Patrol, the victims have been identified as 35-year-old Travis Buchanan, his wife 35-year-old Candice Buchanan, and their two children, 10-year-old Aubrey Buchanan and 9-year-old Walker Buchanan.
Authorities reported that three of the family members were pronounced dead at the crash site. The fourth individual was transported to a nearby hospital for emergency treatment but was later pronounced dead by medical staff.
The aircraft involved in the crash was a Cirrus SR22, a small single-engine plane. The crash occurred in a field located off Lower Moncure Road, just north of Sanford. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) confirmed that there were four people on board at the time of the accident.
Responders faced challenges in reaching the site, as the crash happened in a remote area far from the road, making access difficult for emergency personnel.
At this time, officials have not determined where the flight originated or what its intended destination was. Both the FAA and the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) have launched an investigation to determine what led to the crash. Investigators will examine the plane’s maintenance records, the pilot’s credentials, weather conditions, and any available communication or flight data to uncover the cause of the incident.
The loss of the Buchanan family has sent shockwaves through the local community, as residents mourn the devastating event. Further information is expected to be released as federal investigators continue their work at the crash site and gather evidence to understand how this tragedy occurred.
