Small plane crashes near Steamboat Springs airport

STEAMBOAT SPRINGS, Colo. — A small plane experiencing engine trouble crashed near the Steamboat Springs/Bob Adams Field (SBS) Airport Monday afternoon.

According to Steamboat Springs Radio, the Cessna 421 landed between two mobile home trailers, causing an “inferno” that spread to both trailers.

Both trailers were completely destroyed by the flames. No one was inside at the time of the accident.

Steamboat Springs Radio reports that “those on the ground are found.” The status of those on board the plane is unclear at this time.

There is still a strong emergency presence in the area. There is no electricity in the area at the moment. Safety officials are working to set up a shelter for those affected by the accident.

This is the third plane crash in Colorado in 10 days. On June 7, a small plane crashed in an Arvada neighborhood, killing a woman and injuring three other people. Crews rescued two people from a small plane crash Sunday after troopers said the pilot attempted to land on Interstate 25 near Spruce Mountain Road near Larkspur.
