ERIE — A 66-year-old man was killed early Wednesday afternoon when a small plane crashed in Boulder County.
A witness called 911 and reported seeing the crash about 12:45 p.m. Wednesday on open space at 4900 N. 109th St.
The Boulder County Sheriff’s Office confirmed one fatality, the pilot, and said there were no passengers. The plane was identified as a Smyth Sidewinder — a homebuilt, kit aircraft. The Boulder County Coroner’s Office identified the pilot late Wednesday as David Biesemeier of Loveland.
Kira Cady, who lives on Lookout Road about a mile from the crash site, said she was cleaning up after her horses when she saw the plane.
“I saw the left wing of the plane fall off; it looked like half to three-fourths. … I heard the engine, and then the wing broke, and then I saw debris going down. I immediately called 911.”
