http://www.nbc12.com/story/14515893/henrico-utility-payments-destroyed-in-plane-crashHENRICO, VA (WWBT) – Public utility customers in Henrico County need to check their bank accounts. NBC12 has learned that approximately 900-1,000 payments were destroyed in the April 11 plane crash at RIC.
In a letter mailed to the county's 90,000 public utility customers, the DPU states that the small plane was headed to Charlotte, NC, where the payments later would have been delivered to Wachovia for processing.
"In the ten years I've been here, this is the first time we've ever had to notify our customers about a situation like this," said Arthur D. Petrini.
At approximately 9:30 p.m. on April 11, the twin-engine piper navajo aircraft crashed at RIC moments after takeoff, creating a large fireball. The pilot, Anthony Carr, suffered major burns and was hospitalized in critical condition. Two weeks after the crash, the pilot remains hospitalized, but his current condition could not be released.
