GEARHART, OR (AP) -- Two children from Denver were among those killed when a single-engine plane crashed into a fogbound home along the coast today.

Another child in the home and the two pilots also died. The children from Denver were identified as 12-year-old Hesam Farrar Masoudi and 7-year-old Grace Masoudi.

Officials in the resort town of Gearhart said pilot Jason Ketchson and passenger Frank Toohey were aboard the plane that crashed before 7 a.m.. They apparently hit a tree during conditions described as foggy with low clouds.

A woman and two other children in the home were flown to a hospital in Portland. Their conditions aren't known.
