At 16:23 on June 17th, 2024 Routt County Communications dispatched Steamboat Springs Fire Rescue and West Routt Fire Protection District to the 2900 block of W. Acres Drive in Steamboat Springs for an aircraft emergency. On scene, responders discovered a twin-engine Cessna 421 had crashed and caught fire to two homes and several outbuildings. While fire crews extinguished the flames, local law enforcement set up a call line for residents and community members to reach out. Once emergency crews extinguished the fire and made access to the plane, they confirmed the two occupants of the plane had died in the crash. The scene was soon secured for the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) to conduct their investigation of the incident. Additional information was provided by Steamboat Springs Fire Rescue.
