The brother and sister who died when their small plane crashed into a house in Ashland County were known to the homeowners.

The single-engine plane went down Saturday afternoon in Marengo.

The sheriff's office says 29-year-old Aaron Mika and his 21-year-old sister, Aleah Mika died at the scene.

The homeowners escaped injury.

Martin Ollanketo says he and his wife were watching TV when they heard what sounded like a bomb.

The plane crash destroyed their front porch.

The homeowners knew the couple killed, and said they attended the siblings’ graduation parties.
