A pilot and co-pilot have died in the crash of a mid-sized jet that tried to land Thursday afternoon at the Greenville Downtown Airport but ran off the runway and split in two, causing a fuel leak that emergency crews rushed to contain.

 

The reason for the crash was unclear.

 

The Coroner's Office said the plane overshot the runway, with the fuselage breaking at the cabin after the jet crashed on Tower Drive. Witnesses said the plane appeared to land without a problem until it overshot the runway and barreled down a steep embankment.

 

“We all saw it land, and for some reason it did not stop," airport director Joe Frasher said.

 

The co-pilot was identified as 66-year-old Stephen George Fox, of Indian Rocks, Florida. The pilot was a 49-year-old man whose name hadn't been released as of late Thursday. The Coroner's Office hadn't been able to notify his next of kin.

 

The passengers were a married man and woman. They are in critical condition at the hospital, Greenville Fire Department spokesman Tristan Johnson said.
