OLIVER SPRINGS, Tenn. (AP) - A single-engine plane slammed into
a tree after landing at an airport in East Tennessee, killing one

The Piper PA28 crashed around 2 p.m.
The Knoxville News Sentinel reports that the plane is registered
to the Oak Ridge Flyers Inc., an aviation club. Club President

pilot, and the others in the plane were relatives or friends.
The names of the victims were not immediately available.
