DENVER (KDVR) — Officials confirmed that there were no survivors after a small plane crashed in a field near Broomfield on Saturday morning.

Mark Daugherty, deputy chief of operations for North Metro Fire Rescue, told FOX31’s Kasia Kerridge that the crash was a “tragic incident” and there were no survivors.

The National Transportation Safety Board provided an update and said two people were on board the plane at the time of the crash.

The plane took off from the Rocky Mountain Metropolitan Airport and immediately tried to return.

Daugherty said that emergency services were notified of an aircraft emergency around 10 a.m., and as crews were responding, they were alerted that the plane had crashed.

When NMFR arrived on the scene, the plane was on fire and Daugherty said they were able to extinguish the fire rapidly.

The airport said in a post on X that the plane was a Beechcraft twin-engine airplane. The airport said that the pilot called the Air Traffic Control tower, reporting an issue with the door being opened.

The small plane crashed in a field east of Brainard Road in Broomfield. The road is closed in the area.

The National Transportation Safety Board, Federal Aviation Administration, Rocky Mountain Metropolitan Airport, Broomfield Police Department and Boulder County Sheriff’s Office are investigating.
