Debris washes up on the coast at Point Pinos after a airplane crash Saturday night bound from San Carlos to Monterey.
The Monterey County Sheriff’s Office has identified the three people killed Saturday night when a small plane crashed off the coast of the county.
They are Salinas resident Steve Eugene Clatterbuck, 60, and Monterey residents James Vincent, 36, and Jamie Lee Tabscott, 44.
The twin-engine Beechcraft 55 Baron, with tail number N8796R, took off from San Carlos Airport in San Mateo County at 10:11 p.m. and crashed sometime around 10:37 p.m., which was its last recorded sighting, and the same time that it was scheduled to land at Monterey Regional Airport, according to the flight tracking website flightaware.com.
The plane went down about 200-300 yards off of Point Pinos, on the coast of the city of Pacific Grove.
A search and rescue response was launched by the U.S. Coast Guard, Cal Fire, and multiple local agencies just before 11 p.m. Saturday.
The first victim was found unresponsive in the water by a crew aboard a Monterey Fire Department boat at about 3:08 a.m. Sunday. The other two were found still in the fuselage, which was discovered by a Cal Fire drone just before 6 a.m., according to U.S. Coast Guard Petty Officer Ryan Graves.
Commercial divers recovered the first of those bodies at about 6:30 a.m. and recovered the other by about 9:08 a.m., Graves said.
About 100 square miles was covered during the search, according to a Coast Guard news release.
The National Transportation Safety Board will investigate the cause of the crash.
The plane is registered to a company called SEA2SKY AVIATION LLC, which is registered in Dover, Delaware, according to Federal Aviation Administration records.
