At least two people have died on Wednesday after two small planes have collided in the air in the vicinity of the MARANA REGIONAL AIRPORT From the state of Arizona, in the southwest United States (USA), Europa Press has reported.
As reported by the National Transport Security Board In a preliminary report, it is a Cessna 172s plane and another Lancair 360 MK II that have collided early (local time) when they flew near one of the two tracks of the airfield, according to the CNN.
After colliding, the Cessna plane has landed “without incident”, while the other aircraft has hit the ground near the track, after which a fire has occurred. The Marana Police Department has moved to the area and has confirmed at least two dead.
The Federal Aviation Administration from the US considers this small airport as An “un controlled field” because it does not have air traffic control tower. That is why pilots usually communicate by radiofrequency to inform their position.
This incident occurs in a year in which several plane accidents have already been registered in the US, including one in Washington when an American Airlines plane collided with a military helicopter, leaving 67 dead.
