Two people died in October plane crash near Concord

Federal Aviation Administration officials originally reported that the Oct. 25 crash killed just the pilot[1]of the Beechcraft A36 Bonanza, but the NTSB’s preliminary report says that in addition to the pilot, a certified flight instructor was also killed.

The Contra Costa County coroner’s office would not confirm the number of people killed in the crash, nor would the FAA. The identities of the people who died have not been released.
