EVERETT, WASHINGTON
One person was killed and a second injured in the crash of a
small plane near Paine Field.
One man was killed and a second injured in the crash
Wednesday morning of a small plane near Paine Field south of Everett.
A Beechcraft Bonanza departing from Paine Field Airport
around 9 a.m. crashed in a heavily wooded area south of the runway, according
to the Snohomish County Executive’s Office. The two men were the only people
onboard.
The surviving victim was taken to Harborview Medical Center
in Seattle with non-life-threatening injuries, according to hospital
spokeswoman Susan Gregg.
The Snohomish County Medical Examiner’s Office will identify
the man who was killed and determine cause and manner of death.
The plane reportedly went down near the 11800 block of
Mukilteo Speedway. The crash site is between airport property and Mukilteo
Speedway near Everett.
Lt. Rodney Rochon of the Snohomish County Sheriff’s Office
said crews had to cut their way through brush to get to the plane, using chain
saws and machetes.
Rochon says the injured man suffered bone fractures, but he
was conscious and alert when he was carried out of the woods to a waiting
ambulance. Medics were not able to revive the second victim.
It’s unclear if the man who died was the pilot or passenger,
as the plane can be piloted from both seats, the county said.
Allen Kenitzer, of the Federal Aviation Administration
(FAA), said the Beechcraft Bonanza crashed under unknown circumstances.
He said that both the FAA and the National Transportation
Safety Board would be investigating.
The main Paine Field runway was shut down for three hours
after the crash.
