The four people killed in a plane crash in Somerset are believed to be from the same family, police have said.
They were killed on Saturday when the light aircraft they were travelling in crashed into a field near the village of Churchinford.
The family members, from Surrey, were a 56-year-old man, 55-year-old woman, 23-year-old woman and a 20-year-old man.
Supt Richard Corrigan said “our thoughts are with [the affected family] at this extremely difficult time”.
The aircraft was heading from the Surrey area towards Dunkeswell Aerodrome in east Devon; five miles (8km) from the crash site.
Formal identification has not yet taken place and a joint investigation with the Air Accidents Investigation Branch is under way.
Supt Corrigan added: “The focus of the activity will be to investigative inquiries and then recover the aircraft.
“Road closures remain in place around the crash site.”
