GREENSBURG, Ind. (AP) -- Authorities say two Greensburg-area couples are the victims of a small plane crash near that southeastern Indiana city.

The Decatur County Emergency Management Department identifies the victims as 46-year-old Donald P. Horan and 44-year-old Barbara L. Horan and 45-year-old Stephen A. Butz and 42-year-old Denise L. Butz.

The single-engine Piper airplane that crashed in foggy and misty conditions was registered to Donald Horan. He's listed as the chief executive officer of Greensburg-based Collection Associates Inc., a collection service for the health care industry.

The emergency management agency says the plane crashed about a mile from Greensburg Municipal Airport. It says the airport's pilot-controlled runway lights are activated by radio but were not on at the time of the crash Sunday night.
