It wasn't a Cherokee, it was an Arrow, a PA-28R-200. The PA-28 designation includes the Cherokee but this particular airframe was an Arrow.

Lazy writing and failure to confirm the details of the story.

"... Investigators have yet to determine what led to the crash, the outlet reported on Friday...."

I'll say. They haven't even yet released a preliminary report.

In better days. Yes, that's a Hershey bar wing, so it's an older airframe.

I wondered. My father had a Piper Arrow II that I used to fly. Nice plane. RIP to the deceased.
