The US Bank vice-chairman Terry Dolan is believed to have been on a small plane that crashed in Brooklyn Park, Minnesota on Saturday, a bank spokesperson said in a statement Sunday.
A US Bank spokesperson said the plane was registered with Dolan.
Brooklyn Park Fire Chief Sean Conway said at a press conference on Saturday that there were no survivors on the plane. He said it’s not clear how many people are on board.
A spokesman for a US bank said, referring to Dolan: “At this time, the medical inspector’s office was unable to confirm whether he was on board, but we believe he was. Our thoughts and prayers are with him, his family, friends and anyone who may have been affected by the tragic incident yesterday.”
Government officials shared the plane’s tail number with NBC News and searched it in the Federal Aviation Administration Register and the Minnesota Secretary’s Office office to confirm Dolan will manage the aircraft’s registered business.
Attempts to reach Dolan’s family on Sunday night were unsuccessful.
The Hennepin County Medical Inspector’s office is working to identify people on the plane, Brooklyn Park City said in an update Sunday.
According to the National Transportation Safety Board, the plane was a single-engine Sokata TBM7.
It crashed into the house and caused a fire, Conway said.
The two live in the house, but at the time only one was inside, the city said in a Sunday update. The person was able to escape safely.
The NTSB is leading the investigation and is in the process of retrieving the plane before it moves to a new location for further testing, the agency said.
