Two individuals tragically lost their lives in a single-engine plane crash during an attempted landing in Truckee, California, according to local airport and law enforcement officials.
The Daher TBM 900 departed from Denver, Colorado, on Saturday afternoon, as tracked by FlightAware.
The crash occurred at approximately 6:38 p.m. near Glenshire Drive and Olympic Blvd., a crossroads northwest of the Truckee Tahoe Airport, as confirmed by police in a statement.
Authorities assured that there was no threat to any structures or road closures at the time. However, they noted that a significant number of emergency responders would remain in the area for an extended period.
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) dispatched investigators to the crash site early Sunday for documentation.
According to the NTSB, "The wreckage will then be recovered to a secure facility for further evaluation." A preliminary report is expected within 30 days of the incident.
The NTSB's investigation will focus on three main areas: the pilot, the aircraft, and the operating environment.
