Mid-Air Collision between a Piper PA-28 and Beechcraft BE-35

A Piper PA-28 and a Beechcraft BE-35 collided in flight just over 6 miles from Warrenton-Fauquier Airport in Sumerduck, VA. After the collision, the Piper PA-28 crash landed in a field but the BE-35 crashed vertically in a lightly wooded area. The sole occupant of the Piper PA-28 survived. Unfortunately, the two occupants of the BE-35 were fatally injured.
Even though both aircraft carried U.S. registration, the Piper was registered to an FAA employee and the Beech to an NTSB employee, so - by International Agreement - the investigation was handed over to Canada's TSB.
