State Sen. Martha Marx says a Salem resident is among the victims of the plane that crashed with a military helicopter near Washington, D.C.

Sen. Marx shared a Facebook post on Thursday mourning the loss of Casey Crafton, a husband and father of three children.

She said Crafton was among the passengers on the American Airlines flight from Kansas.

She posted the following statement:

“My heart goes out to the Crafton-Gadbois family during this unimaginable time. I ask our community to keep them in your prayers as they navigate this profound loss.”

“Our small town is heartbroken by a devastating tragedy involving one of our beloved Little League members. The Crafton family, deeply involved in all things Salem, has suffered an unimaginable loss,” Salem CT Little League posted on Facebook.
