Two young figure skaters and their mothers died when an American Airlines plane and a Black Hawk helicopter crashed in Washington D.C. Wednesday.

Rhode Island native and figure skater Spencer Lane and his mother, Christine, were two of the people who were on board an American Airlines flight that collided with a military helicopter over the Potomac River on Wednesday night,

They include skater Spencer Lane, whom Zeghibe described as a "highly talented" figure skater, and his mother Christine Lane. "Spencer, in the best way possible, was a crazy kid," Zeghibe said. Zeghibe said Spencer Lane "has not been skating that long, and just rocketed to the top of the sport."
