Authorities say a medical transport flight that crashed in northern Nevada, killing all 5 people aboard including a patient, apparently broke apart before hitting the ground.
STAGECOACH, Nev. — A medical transport flight that crashed in a mountainous area in northern Nevada, killing 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.
Care Flight, which provides ambulance service by plane and helicopter, identified the downed aircraft and said the pilot, a flight nurse, a flight paramedic, a patient and a patient's family member all died. Gruenemay said she wanted to help but conditions were terrible and she didn't have a vehicle that could safely travel the unpaved roads buried in 6 inches of snow.
