TULSA, Okla (UPI) – Two children dressed in Halloween costumes and their pilot father were killed shortly before midnight Friday in the crash of a light plane at the southeast edge of Tulsa.
The children, Jeri Kathleen Lowery, 7, and her sister, Colleen Kyle Lowery, 6, had been to a Halloween party in Tulsa and were starting to Okmulgee to meet their mother and another daughter.
"Trick or treat" bags were found near the children's mangled bodies.
The plane, piloted by their father, Gerald Jacob Lowery, 28, operator of Lowery Air Transit Service, had just taken off from Youngs Airport, about one mile and a half north of the crash scene.
Al Bodewig, Tulsa County Deputy Sheriff, said Lowery, who operated his flying service both in Tulsa and Okmulgee, had brought the children to a Halloween party in Tulsa and was en route to Okmulgee to pick up Mrs. Lowery, who had been visiting her father.
