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

Christine Lane of Barrington was among the victims of a plane crash near Ronald Reagan National Airport outside of Washington, D.C. Wednesday night. She was traveling with her son, 16-year-old Spencer Lane, and other members from the Skating Club of Boston.

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."
