NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WSMV) - As Federal agents are combing through the wreckage from Wednesday’s plane crash in Williamson County, which killed three people on board, residents are discovering debris at their homes.

Passengers’ personal items along with materials from the plane are scattered across the community along with Jennifer Reynolds’ property.

“When you come home and you see all the stuff, it’s heartbreaking,” Reynolds said. “You don’t expect every day to come home to find this.”

The plane was coming from Louisiana en route to Kentucky when authorities say it appeared to have broken apart in the air.

Among the deceased was Dr. Lucius “Tre” Doucet, who’s remembered by his employer as being a compassionate surgeon who touched countless lives.

With the NTSB and FAA investigating the cause, Reynolds feels fortunate to learn that no one was injured as a result of the falling debris or properties suffered any damage.

“It’s a miracle that no one was injured and it took out no one’s house. Thank god nothing was damaged and nobody was hurt because my mom and dad was home,” she said.

Meanwhile, as this mother continues to find wreckage, she is reminded of how quickly things can change after tragedy comes knocking on their doorsteps.

“It just makes you think when you see them and you leave tell them you love them because you’re not sure. there’s three people that aren’t going back home,” Reynolds added.
