Father and son killed in small plane crash near Williston
A tragic plane crash near Williston over the weekend claimed the lives of an 11-year-old boy named Carter Harnett and his 35-year-old father, Jacob Harnett. The small aircraft they were in, a Beechcraft Baron 58P, crashed about a mile northwest of Williston Regional Airport in Florida. The crash resulted in the deaths of all three individuals on board, including an unnamed victim. Despite the flight plan including a stop in Williston for refueling on their way back from a hunting trip in Kentucky, the plane crashed into a peanut field and exploded upon impact. Investigations into the cause of the crash are ongoing, with authorities yet to determine whether any mechanical issues, weather conditions, or pilot errors contributed to the tragedy. Jacob, a beloved member of the Key West community, was known for his vibrant personality, while Carter was a cheerful and active child who loved the outdoors. Friends and family are mourning the loss of the father-son duo, and a memorial service is set to be held in Key West this Saturday. To assist with recovery efforts, a GoFundMe account has been established by the family.
