Virginia State Police have identified two of the four people killed in the July 5 crash of a single-engine airplane in Rockbridge County. Stepan Matkovski, 23, of Safety Harbor, Fla., and Ginny Brown Gajewski, 37, of Riverview, Fla., have been identified by the state medical examiner’s office, state police Sgt. R.J. Carpentieri said. Relatives have identified the other two victims as Daniel Dorsch, 56, of Tampa, Fla., the former CEO of the Checkers Drive-In Restaurants chain and his wife, Cynthia Dorsch, 55. Gajewski was Daniel Dorsch’s marketing and public-relations director.

Tampa, Fla., businessman Daniel Dorsch asked Washington air traffic control for help in the direction of flight just before his Pilatus PC-12 plane crashed Sunday morning in Rockbridge County. The crash killed Dorsch, his wife, Cynthia, and two others. National Transportation Safety Board investigator Tim Monville said the pilot, believed to be Dorsch, radioed Washington about 9:55 a.m. to ask the air controller about adverse weather.
