WALHALLA, S.C. -- Authorities say all four people who died in a plane crash were from Indiana.

The men were flying from Warsaw, Indiana, to Clemson, South Carolina, to attend Saturday's Notre Dame-Clemson game.

Oconee County Coroner Karl Addis identified the men who died Friday afternoon as: 71-year-old Charles D. Smith; his son, 44-year-old Scott A. Smith; 54-year-old Tony L. Elliott; and 51-year-old Scott D. Bibler.

Elliott was a former sprint car driver, while the elder Smith was a Warsaw councilman and former high school football coach.
