KIRKSVILLE, Mo. - A commuter plane crashed in a wooded area south of Kirksville on Tuesday night and at least five people were reported killed, the Federal Aviation Administration in Chicago said.

The plane was believed to have been Corporate Airlines Flight 5966 on a regular route from St. Louis to Kirksville, FAA spokeswoman Elizabeth Isham Cory said. Corporate Airlines is an affiliate of American Airlines, she said.

Twelve people were thought to have been on the plane when it crashed shortly after 7:30 p.m., Cory said. She did not know whether that number consisted of passengers or included crew as well.

The Jetstream 32 twin turboprop went down about four miles south of Kirksville, Cory said. The plane's last communication at 7:33 p.m. indicated it was on a normal approach to Kirksville Regional Airport, and there was no mention of any problems, she said.

Larry Rodgers, a spokesman for Northeast Regional Medical Center in Kirksville, said the hospital was treating two people who had been on board the plane that crashed. He said both were stable, but said he could not speak to the extent of their injuries at 10:45 p.m.

"As the physicians evaluate them, we should know more," he said.

It was Trans States. They have a regular route from STL to IRK.

We (Trans States) do NOT fly to Kirksville. Thats a Corporate Airlines route. God be with the passengers, crew and their familes.
