ROCK SPRINGS, Wyo. — Two single-engine planes collided in mid-air Sunday a few miles from the Rock Springs-Sweetwater County Airport, killing all three aboard, authorities said.
Local officials received 911 calls of an “explosion in the sky” around 12:26 p.m., said Detective Dick Blust, a sheriff’s spokesman.
One of the planes involved took off from Polson, Mont., with two people aboard, said Ian Gregor, a spokesman for the Federal Aviation Administration.
The other plane had only the pilot aboard, who apparently was a student who had been practicing in the area.
