Photos of plane crash that killed Brandon pastor, son released

The National Transportation Safety Board released photographs today from the investigation into an airplane crash that took the lives of Bell Shoals Baptist Church pastor Forrest Pollock and his son, Preston, 13, in North Carolina on May 12.

The wreckage of the single-engine Piper plane was located at the 4,700-foot level of Cold Mountain, near Cruso, N.C., on a steep slope in heavily wooded terrain.

The aircraft departed from Rutherfordton, N.C., and was en route to Little Rock, Ark., when the accident occurred at about 5:34 a.m. No flight plan was filed for the flight.

Because the remote accident site is inaccessible to news media, the NTSB has released the photographs today.
