A six-seat Piper PA-46 crashed in Erie, Colorado, around noon on Sunday as it was approaching the Erie Municipal Airport in the northwest corner of the Denver metropolitan area, killing five people aboard. The airplane was returning from a flight to Centennial Airport in the southern part of Denver, the local 9NEWS station reported.
The pilot has been identified as Oliver Frascona, a real estate lawyer who lived at the Erie Airpark. Also in the Malibu Mirage were Frascona’s girlfriend, her three sons and a dog. All aboard died in the crash.
