TRENTON, Mo. (AP) — Two people have died in a small plane crash in northern Missouri, officials there said.

The crash happened Tuesday afternoon near Trenton, the St. Joseph News-Press reported. The wreckage of the small Cessna aircraft was found near Missouri Highway 6 and Missouri 139 north, east of Trenton, according to the Grundy County Sheriff's Office.

Officials said in a news release that the small Cessna was on its way from Humphreys, Missouri, to Kirksville, Missouri, when it crashed. The two killed were a father and son, the release said, but their names were not immediately released.
