A preliminary report is still pending on a plane crash that killed two people Jan. 5 in Southwest Arkansas. One of the victims was a former Oklahoma Christian University baseball player.
A National Transportation Safety Board spokesman said Friday the preliminary report on the crash near Gurdon could be released within days. The plane departed McKinney, Texas, en route to Franklin, N.C.
According to Oklahoma Christian University, former All-Sooner Athletic Conference baseball player Jimmy Kent died in the crash. The school says 40-year-old Kent, originally from Tulsa, Okla., transferred to OCU from Abilene Christian before the 1998 season.
Kent hit .361 for the Eagles as a junior that year and played for coach Johnny Inman.
