A small aircraft crash in the mountainous terrain of northern Colorado has claimed the lives of all four people on board, according to officials. The incident occurred near the popular ski resort community of Steamboat Springs.
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) confirmed that the downed aircraft was an Epic E1000, a high-performance, six-seat turboprop plane. The agency stated that there were four individuals aboard the aircraft at the time of the accident.
Authorities have launched a full investigation into the circumstances surrounding the crash. The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB), which is leading the probe alongside the FAA, reported that preliminary information indicates the plane went down in mountainous terrain, though the specific causes of the crash are still unknown.
Both the FAA and the NTSB have pledged to investigate the incident thoroughly to determine the factors that led to this tragic event.
