Three people were killed on Saturday when two small planes
collided in midair over Boulder County, Colorado, crashing into an open field
and leaving two separate crash sites, local authorities said.
Shortly before 9 am local time, police “received multiple
emergency phone calls” from witnesses who saw the two aircraft collide about 30
miles north of Denver, the Boulder County Sheriff’s Office said in a statement.
When first responders came across the first crash site, both
people onboard the plane were dead, police said. The pilot of the second downed
plane, who was the sole occupant, also was dead when emergency crews reached
the wreckage, the sheriff’s office said.
None of the victims were immediately identified.
The two aircraft were a Cessna 172 and a Sonex Xenos, the
National Transportation Safety Board said in a statement, adding that
investigators are probing what led up to the accident.
The Sonex Xenos is a lightweight aluminum, homebuilt
aircraft, according to the company’s website. The Cessna 172 Skyhawk is a
single engine airplane that seats four.
The Federal Aviation Administration said in a statement that
the planes collided near the Vance Brand Airport, a general aviation airport in
Longmont, Colorado.
