Colorado, United States: A mid-air collision between two small aircraft at Fort Morgan Municipal Airport on Sunday morning left one person dead and three others injured, officials reported. According to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), a Cessna 172 and an Extra Flugzeugbau EA-300 collided while both were on final approach to land at the airport. The Morgan County Sheriff's Office received the first report of the crash at approximately 10:44 a.m. local time. Emergency crews including deputies from the Morgan County Sheriff’s Office, personnel from the Fort Morgan Police Department, Colorado State Patrol, Fort Morgan Fire Department, and Morgan County Ambulance arrived promptly at the scene. The two occupants of the Cessna 172 sustained only minor injuries and were treated on-site. In contrast, one occupant of the EA-300 was taken to a local hospital, while the other was declared dead at the crash site by the Morgan County Coroner’s Office. Following the collision, both aircraft crashed and caught fire. A plume of smoke was visible from afar, and bystanders rushed to help extinguish the flames before first responders arrived. The FAA and the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) have launched a joint investigation, with the NTSB expected to take the lead on determining what caused the crash. In a statement, the Morgan County Sheriff’s Office expressed condolences to the victim’s family: “We extend our deepest condolences to the family and friends of the victim in this tragic event. We would like to express our gratitude to all the agencies that helped with this situation. Additionally, we want to thank the citizens who assisted in trying to extinguish the fire until the fire department and first responders arrived on the scene.” The crash occurred during a weekend aerobatics competition at the airport involving Metropolitan State University of Denver’s collegiate aerobatics team. University officials clarified that their event was unrelated to the collision. Meanwhile, the airport has been closed temporarily as investigators and emergency teams continue their work.

Montana, United States: A small private aircraft crash-landed into multiple parked planes at Kalispell City Airport on Monday afternoon, sparking an intense fire but resulting in no serious injuries, authorities confirmed. The incident involved a 2011-built Socata TBM 700 turboprop, registered to Meter Sky LLC of Pullman, Washington. According to the Kalispell Fire Department, the single-engine plane was carrying four people, the pilot and three passengers when it attempted to land at around 2:00 p.m. local time. Initial reports from Kalispell Fire Chief Dan Pearson indicate that the TBM 700 touched down normally but lost directional control during rollout. The aircraft veered off the runway and collided with several parked planes on the apron. The collision ruptured fuel lines, triggering a blaze that quickly spread to the nearby grassy area adjacent to the tarmac. All four occupants managed to evacuate the aircraft before flames engulfed it. Two people suffered minor injuries and received treatment on-site, while the other two were unhurt. No injuries were reported among ground personnel. Multiple firefighting units from Kalispell and surrounding districts responded within minutes. Eyewitnesses described the crash as sudden and violent. Mark Grant, manager of the Aero Inn located near the airport, recounted to AP NEWS the moment of impact: “It was like sticking your head inside a bass drum and someone hitting it with all their might. The sound rattled the windows.” Several onlookers captured videos that circulated widely on social media, showing thick columns of black smoke rising from the airfield as emergency crews rushed to the scene. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) confirmed it has opened a preliminary inquiry into the crash, while the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) will lead the formal investigation. The investigators will examine factors including runway surface conditions, aircraft mechanical integrity, and potential pilot error. The TBM 700’s flight data and cockpit voice recorders, though not required for all private planes, will be checked if installed. The NTSB’s initial report is expected within two weeks, but a final determination could take up to a year.
