Indian River County, FL — A student pilot and her brother were found dead Thursday night, June 9, 2011, after their plane crashed in a wooded area in Indian River County. The plane accident was reported around 8 p.m., after it was overdue to arrive at Space Coast Aviation, reported ClickOrlando.com.
According to reports, the 21-year-old student pilot, Carly Beattie and her brother, 24-year-old Daniel Beattie were visiting Central Florida from Scotland and staying with their parents on Merritt Island.
