At Least Three Dead After Planes Collide Mid-Air in Colorado

At least three people were killed Saturday when two small planes collided mid-air over Boulder County, Colo.

A single-engine Cessna 172 and a Sonex Xenos crashed into each other in flight near Vance Brand Airport in Longmon just before 9 a.m., according to the Federal Aviation Administration.

Both people aboard the Cessna were killed and at least one on the other plane.

A spokesperson for the Boulder County Sheriff’s Office did not immediately return a request for comment from the Daily News Sunday.

None of the victims have been publicly identified.

The Cessna had departed from Rocky Mountain Metropolitan Airport in Broomfield and the Sonex from Platte Valley Airpark in Hudson, officials said at a press conference Saturday night.

No cause of the crash has been revealed. Both the Federal Aviation Administration and the National Transportation Safety Board are investigating.
