WILLISTON, Fla. — A single-engine plane and a kit-built aircraft collided in clear, sunny skies Saturday over central Florida, killing three people, authorities said.

Debris from the planes was spread about a half-mile long and a quarter-mile wide, said Levy Sheriff’s Office Capt. Evan Sullivan.

Sullivan wouldn’t release the victims’ names, saying next of kin had to be notified.

The kit-built aircraft, also known as an experimental plane, left from Ocala, about 25 miles southeast of Williston, but Sullivan didn’t know where it was headed. The Piper took off from Williston Municipal Airport, and it also was not clear where it was going.
