Two small planes collided near Tokio, Wash., killing at least three people when one of the craft crashed, officials said. The other plane, carrying three people, landed safely at Ritzville Airport, a Federal Aviation Administration official in Seattle said. Three bodies were recovered from the wreckage, but it was feared that there may be a fourth victim, since the plane’s flight plan had indicated four people aboard, the official said. Authorities were investigating the cause of the crash.
