MESA, Ariz. — Four of the five people who died when a small jet crashed into a vehicle in Arizona on Tuesday have been identified.
Mesa police said those killed in the crash were Spencer Lindahl, 43; Rustin Randall, 48; Drew Kimball, 44; and Graham Kimball, 12. The driver in the vehicle also died, Mesa police said, but they declined to release the driver's name pending confirmation of the identity.
