A small dual engine plane on route to a college football game, crashed into the parking lot of a post office in Lafayette, Louisiana.

Among the dead was Sports journalist Carley Ann McCord. She is also the  daughter-in-law of one of Louisiana State's football coaches, Steven Ensminger. 

A sixth passenger is being treated at an area hospital along with two people who were in the post office.

According to the Associated Press, Steven Ensminger Jr., son of the offensive coordinator for the Louisiana State University football team, said his wife, Carley McCord, was on board the flight and died when it crashed. He said the plane was en route to the Peach Bowl playoff game in Atlanta between LSU and Oklahoma.

Ensminger said he was unable to go to the game and was at work when the crash happened. His father, Steven Ensminger, called him just before the elder Ensminger got to the stadium. The coach had tears in his eyes when he appeared on the field at the start of the game Saturday afternoon.

"I just don't feel like this is real," Ensminger Jr. told the AP in an Instagram message. “I'm praying it's not real.”
