The pilot of a medical transport plane that crashed during a winter storm in Nevada, killing all five people on board, was following in the footsteps of his grandfather who flew bombers in the Second World War.
All five on board died from multiple blunt-force injuries in the crash near rural Stagecoach, including pilot Scott Walton, 46, of Allendale, Michigan, the Washoe County Regional Medical Examiner’s Office said Monday.
The other four victims were from Reno — 69-year-old patient Mark Rand and his 66-year-old spouse Terri Rand, as well as two medical crew members, Edward Pricola, 32, and Ryan Watson, 27. Officials have not said what medical condition Mark Rand had. The single-engine Pilatus PC12 apparently broke apart before hitting the ground about 40 miles southeast of Reno, according to the National Transportation Safety Board, which has sent a seven-member investigative team to the crash site.
“He found humor and joy in so many moments and brought that to all of us in any type of situation,” Michael Walton said. “He was the central part of our family and kind of like the glue that held everyone together.” But his career — as much as he loved it — came second to the love he had for his family, Michael Walton said.
