Laura, Steve, Dana & Christina Lester
Tragedy struck the University of Oklahoma alumni family and the Tulsa medical community today as five people died in a small airplane crash.
Dr. Steven Lester, wife Dana, and daughters Laura,16, and Christina, 13, with family friend Dr. Ken Veteto died when their six-passenger Piper apparently hit a guy wire in the fog. The Oklahoma Highway Patrol said that the plane flipped end-over-end several times as it crash landed in Tulsa's Chandler Park.
Both Steven and Dana Lester were University of Oklahoma alumni. They were enroute to the Sooners' opening game against Brigham Young University in Arlington, TX, flying into Dallas.
An investigation is under way. The Lesters' two other children were not on the airplane.
Fox 23 has more.
