None
Three people died Wednesday after two small airplanes collided in midair at a rural airport in western Georgia, where one witness told authorities the pilots may have been trying to land at the same time.
The single-engine planes reportedly crashed just before 11 am near the end of the lone runway at West Georgia Regional Airport. The airport is located in Carrollton, about 45 miles west of Atlanta.
The dead were two men and one woman, Carroll County Chief Deputy Coroner Ed Baskin said. The woman and a man were in one plane and the second man was alone in the other plane, he said. The names of the dead are being withheld until their families have been notified.
