Shamblin Lara, who founded the church in 1999, is the author of the national bestseller 'The Weigh Down Diet', a Christian-based diet. Her condition after the accident is unknown. Her website refers to her as a "pioneer of faith-based weight loss". The plane took off from the Smyrna Rutherford County Airport just before it crashed, according to the Federal Aviation Administration. It was said to be on its way to Palm Beach International Airport. According to Tennessee Highway Patrol, the plane crashed into the water near the Fate Sanders boat ramp.

According to the website Flight Aware, the plane was built in 1982 and is a fixed-wing plane with two engines and eight seats. It was unclear who was flying the plane at the time. Dive teams are still searching the lake for debris and survivors, according to Nashville Public Radio.

Her daughter, Elizabeth Hannah, sent an internal text to church families informing them that the plane 'had to go down for a controlled, quick landing,' according to WTVF. "More information to come, but be in prayer – and be at peace. GOD IS IN CONTROL, and we will not stop moving forward with WHAT GOD WANTS with this church," Hannah wrote, according to the Daily Mail.

Because no details have been confirmed, the Remnant Fellowship told Daily Mail that "authorities have not been unable to communicate with the families of those involved." "The Shamblins, Hannahs and Laras appreciate your concern, support and prayers," the church said in the statement, adding: "As has been reported by the media, some family members may have been involved in a plane accident this morning."

People took to Twitter to talk about the incident. "At least one dead after small plane carrying Christian diet guru Gwen Shamblin Lara crashes into lake https://trib.al/MIKxID9," said a tweet.
