YUMA, Colo.—Three people have died in the crash of a single-engine plane in Yuma, about 70 miles east of Denver.
Yuma County Undersheriff Rick Schorzman says the plane crashed near Yuma Municipal Airport at about 8:30 a.m. Sunday. Witnesses say conditions were extremely foggy.
Schorzman on Monday identified the victims as Robert Charles Moran, Dorothy Harlene Moran and Paul Nunn.
Schorzman says authorities think the Morans were married. Both were 71 and lived south of Yuma.
Nunn lived in Pueblo and authorities believe he was the pilot. They say he was in his 60s and is believed to have been Dorothy Moran’s brother.
The plane was a 1959 Piper PA-24-250 and was apparently headed from Pueblo to Yuma.
Federal investigators haven’t returned calls.
