PINEVILLE, La. (AP) - Rapides Parish sheriff's deputies have identified the two men killed Saturday after two aircraft collided in Pineville.

In a news release Sunday, deputies said the victims were Thomas O'Leary Jr. of Pineville and James Schultz Jr. of Alexandria.

Two people who survived the crash were taken to Rapides Regional Medical Center for treatment of injuries.

Ingrid Newell sustained severe injuries and Darrell Newell sustained moderate injuries, according to the sheriff's office.

Federal Aviation Administration spokesman Lynn Lunsford says each single-engine Cessna 150 carried two people when they hit and crashed into woods near Pineville Regional Airport.

The accident took place during The Fall Fly-In, a social event for recreational pilots.
