2 dead, 1 injured in plane crash into Newberg home

NEWBERG, Ore. — A small plane crashed into a home in Newberg on Tuesday night, killing two people and injuring another inside the plane, according to Tualatin Valley Fire & Rescue.

TVF&R spokesperson Jacob Fuhrer said people began calling 911 at around 7 p.m. to report a plane spiraling toward the ground.

The plane crashed into the home off North Cedar Street.

On Wednesday afternoon, Newberg Police released the names of the three people inside the aircraft.

20-year-old Barrett Bevacqua and 22-year-old Michele Cavallotti, both of Hillsboro, were killed in the crash. 20-year-old Emily Hurd of Hillsboro was airlifted to a hospital in Portland with critical injuries.

No one on the ground was injured.

Initially, Fuhrer said there was no one inside the home when the plane crashed into it, but after officials interviewed the homeowners, they discovered that there were people inside, but they got out safely.

Crews quickly determined that one of the people inside the plane was dead. Later, after gaining more access to the plane, they discovered another person, who was also dead. A third person was flown to the hospital in a helicopter. That person was seriously injured.

The crash created a large hole in the roof, and the plane came to rest inside the home. The plane was still inside the home shortly before 9 p.m.

Fuhrer said what caused the plane to crash would be investigated by the FAA and NTSB.

TVF&R is working with the Red Cross to help those who lived in the home and were displaced because of the crash.

On Wednesday morning it was confirmed via FAA records that the crashed plane was registered to the Hillsboro Aero Academy, a flight training school.

TVF&R said the Newberg-Dundee Police Department is working with the FAA and NTSB to find out what caused the crash.
