Authorities will begin a recovery operation at daybreak Wednesday after a deadly plane crash in Akron.

The Ohio State Highway Patrol says there are no survivors of the crash Tuesday afternoon. The victims’ names have not been released.

Danny Lewkowicz, the owner of ExecuFlight, the company that leased the aircraft, tells us there were nine people aboard the plane: a pilot, copilot and seven passengers.

The FAA says the 1979 Hawker H25 twin-engine business jet left Dayton and was on approach to Akron Fulton International Airport just before 3 p.m.

The OSHP says the plane clipped a telephone wire, hit an apartment building on Mogadore Road at Skelton Road, then crashed into an embankment behind that building. It was just two miles from the airport.
