NTSB Vice Chair Bruce Landsberg said that parts of the plane were found up to three-quarters of a mile away from the crash scene in a mountainous area.
STAGECOACH, Nev. — A medical transport flight that crashed in a mountainous area in northern Nevada, killing five all five people aboard the plane including a patient, apparently broke apart before hitting the ground, authorities said Sunday.
Landsberg said in the afternoon briefing that a team spent all day looking for pieces of the downed plane. He added investigators would likely be on site for several days before the wreckage of the single-engine Pilatus PC-12 is moved so investigators can try to determine a possible crash cause. The plane was built in 2002.
Visibility was under two miles with a cloud ceiling about 2,000 feet above ground when the flight left Reno for Salt Lake City, Utah, and went down, according to the weather service. "I knew the plane was in trouble," Hays told the Reno Gazette Journal."I knew it was going to crash. I was just hoping it wasn't going to crash into my house."Misty Gruenemay told the newspaper that the wind was howling and the snow blowing hard when she heard what sounded like a whiz and a thump behind her house in Stagecoach. The rural community is home to around 2,500 residents and located about 45 miles southeast of Reno.
The Lyon County Sheriff's office said authorities began receiving calls about the crash near Stagecoach, Nevada, around 9:15 p.m. and found the wreckage two hours later.
