Wednesday, July 26, the American light aircraft Beechcraft Bonanza crashed when I was flying over interstate 15 in Weber County, Utah. Inside were four passengers, all of them died. It happened around 13:00.
The victims of the incident were two couples: a 48-year-old lane and 46-year-old Diana Clarke, who lives in Taylor and 45-year-old Perry and a 42-year-old Sarah Huffaker from West haven. Likely that they were flying on vacation to island Park, Idaho.
There is speculation that the pilot of the aircraft could be lane Clark, who according to his colleagues Steve’s Cottle’s, was “an avid pilot and loved to share his hobby with the rest”. Owning a business painting cars, Clark received his pilot’s license about five years ago.
Beechcraft Bonanza took off from municipal airport Ogden-Hinckley and flying not more than 50 mils, hit the motorway, which is one of the busiest in the area. However, none of the cars were not damaged.
But the plane left only fragments. According to eyewitnesses, air transport began to fall from a height of about 500 feet (152 m), and then when he fell to the ground, occurred the big Bang.
