AKRON, Ohio — The Summit County Medical Examiner’s Office has identified the two people killed when their plane crashed into a house in Akron earlier this month.
The pilot, who officials say owned the 1963 Piper PA-28-180 aircraft, has been identified as David Garcia, 38, of Hammond, Indiana. The flight instructor in the plane has been identified as Colin Albee, 39, of Allen, Texas.
