DENVER (KDVR) — Two planes collided midair as they were approaching the Fort Morgan Municipal Airport on Sunday afternoon, the National Transportation Safety Board reported in a statement to FOX31.
A Cessna 172 and an Extra Flugzeugbau EA300 were attempting to land at the airport around 12:10 p.m. before they crashed into each other, the Federal Aviation Administration reported. Each of the planes had two occupants.
The Morgan County Sheriff’s Office responded to the crash and said that the planes caught fire. The sheriff’s office said there were injuries in the crash, but the extent of the injuries was unknown.
