Two people died after two small planes collided mid-air at Marana Regional Airport in Arizona around 8:30 a.m. The crash involved a *Cessna 172S* and a *Lancair 360 MK II*, each carrying two people.
“One aircraft landed safely, while the other crashed and caught fire,” the NTSB reported. The two fatalities came from the crashed plane, while the other two passengers were unharmed.
The airport, which does not have an air traffic control tower, is temporarily closed for investigation.
Marana officials offered condolences and praised first responders for their quick action.
The airport is part of the FAA’s Air Traffic Control Tower Program, which may lead to future upgrades.
