Tragedy sometimes strikes in ways that we can’t even comprehend. This happened on June 30 in upstate New York, when a family died in a crash.

That family of five died on that day in a small plane crash as they were traveling to upstate New York for a youth baseball tournament. The Piper Malibu Mirage plane took off from Oneonta Municipal Airport located in central New York and crashed in the area of Masonville, New York. That is about 90 miles from Syracuse.

The five family members who passed away in the crash are, Roger Beggs, 76; Laura VanEpps, 43; Ryan VanEpps, 42; James R. VanEpps, 12; and Harrison VanEpps, 10.

According to local police, a report came in from a suspected plane crash at 2 PM on Sunday. They used drones, helicopters, and ATVs to search the area and eventually found the crash site.

Many offered their condolences, including the governor.

May they rest in peace.
