North Carolina State Highway Patrol Master Trooper Rico Stephens said there were no survivors, ABC affiliate WCTI reported. Officials said they are in the process of identifying the remains of the deceased and notifying the next of kin.

Both the pilot and the passenger in a small plane that crashed near Greenville, North Carolina, on Friday morning have died, according to the state's highway patrol. The FAA said there were only two people aboard the plane — a Beechcraft Bonanza — at the time of the crash.

A plane crashed just before 8 a.m. in Greenville, where later on it was deemed that there were no survivors. The National Transportation Safety Board is investigating the crash of the Beech A36 airplane.
