GROVER, Wayne County — Officials have identified a California couple killed when their small plane crashed in southern Utah last week.

After the crash, Wayne County Sheriff's Office received a call from witnesses who reported they lost sight of the plane, heard what sounded like an explosion and saw smoke, the sheriff's office said in a news release last week.
Crews responded to Miner’s Mountain Road near Grover, a small community outside of Torrey, to find "a large debris field" and fire, the sheriff's office said.
