A Central Illinois woman was killed Saturday afternoon when a plane she occupied crashed into an above ground pool in Centralia.

Police say Cheryl Monserat-LaGreca of Peoria was a passenger in a 1948 Beechcraft A35 that crashed on Woods Lane, northeast of Centralia. The pilot, Glenn Rossi, also of Peoria, was transported to a hospital with life-threatening injuries.

An initial investigation indicates the aircraft may have stalled following engine failure.
