LAWRENCEVILLE, Ga. (AP) - Investigators say one is dead and
three suffered burns after a small plane crashed in Gwinnett County Monday.

Gwinnett County Fire Captain Tommy Rutledge confirmed that a
pilot died in the wreck, which happened around Simmons Circle and Spring Circle in Lawrenceville.

Rutledge says three more passengers suffered non life-threatening burn injuries and were transported to Gwinnett
Medical Center.

Federal Aviation Administration officials tell The Associated
Press the plane was a Beech 65 twin-engine. FAA records show it was registered to a Robert Peter Watson Sr., of Dawsonville.

Gwinnett County firefighters are at the scene of the wreckage,
which was engulfed in flames when they arrived.

Investigators believe the plane crashed shortly after taking off
from Gwinnett County Airport at around 5 p.m.
