A twin-engine Lear jet crashed in flames Tuesday as it approached the Toledo airport, killing three people on board, the Highway Patrol said.

Dispatcher Bob Brehm said he did not know how many people were aboard the plane when it went down a mile southwest of the airport in a nature preserve.

The plane was trying to land when it crashed and caught fire, Brehm said. Firefighters were still trying to extinguish the flames an hour-and-a-half later.

No structures were in the area of Oak Openings Preserve MetroPark where the plane crashed, Toledo Metroparks spokesman Scott Carpenter said.
