NEW DELHI: Two individuals sustained severe
injuries
when their
small aircraft
crashed in close proximity to
Interstate 25
in
Colorado
on Sunday, according to authorities.
The twin-engine Tecnam P2006T crashed in a field adjacent to I-25 near Larkspur, approximately 40 miles (64 kilometers) south of Denver, after reportedly striking a highway sign, causing it to veer off to the east, as stated by the Douglas County Sheriff's Office.
Deputy Cocha Heyden, a spokesperson for the sheriff's office, reported that both occupants of the plane managed to exit the aircraft before sheriff's deputies arrived at the scene. They had to be carried out through waist-deep water in a nearby creek, she added.
"The Federal Aviation Administration said in a statement that it will investigate the crash of the twin-engine Tecnam P2006T along with the National Transportation Safety Board."
This incident occurred just over a week after another small
plane crash
in suburban Denver, where four people were hospitalized after the aircraft attempted to land in the street but instead crashed into the front yard of a home. One person subsequently died from their injuries.
