A plane crash in Oklahoma on Saturday night has resulted in the deaths of three men working within the motorcycle industry. Chase Bales, Damian Riddoch and Mats Malmberg, all partners in U.S. Highland Motorcycles, lost their lives when the small plane they were flying in, piloted by Bales, crashed at about 10 p.m. on Saturday near Mohawk Park near Tulsa, possibly as a result of running out of fuel.
