Dennis Monroe, 65, Joseph Sardinas, 70, killed, after their single-engine aircraft crashes, while filming a movie, near the Monroe Airpark in Summerfield.

Two people were killed Sunday night when their small plane crashed as they filmed a zombie movie in Central Florida, officials said.

Dennis Monroe, 65, and passenger Joseph Sardinas, 70, died in the crash, which occurred around 7:30 p.m. at Monroe Airpark at Southeast 140th Street in Summerfield.

Officials said the plane was a small, two-seat, single-engine aircraft that was being used in a low-budget zombie movie that was filming in the area.

Witnesses said after a banking turn over the film site, the engine stalled and the plane went down nose-first.

"I was like, 'Oh, my gosh. It crashed. It crashed. The plane crashed,'" said a witness, who saw the crash from her back yard. "The plane was flying real low. All of the sudden, you didn't hear the motor anymore and the plane just fell."

FAA officials said the plane was a Van's RV-7 amateur aircraft, which is sold in kits for people to build themselves.

The FAA was expected to be at the airpark Monday afternoon to start its investigation.
