A father was killed and his 9-year-old daughter seriously injured Sunday while walking along a Florida beach when a small plane crash landed and struck them, authorities said.
Wendy Rose, a spokeswoman for the Sarasota County Sheriff’s Office, said the pilot and his passenger weren’t hurt when the Piper aircraft lost power and touched down next to the water’s edge.
"A man and one of his children who were walking on the beach were apparently injured by the plane," said Rose. She said the 36-year-old man was later pronounced dead.
