Plane crashes in Steamboat Springs, smoke rises from mobile home park
DENVER (KDVR) — A plane crashed Monday in a Steamboat Springs mobile home park, according to reports from the scene.
The Routt County Sheriff’s Office confirmed the crash when FOX31 reached out around 4:45 p.m.
A photo from Steamboat Radio’s Shannon Lukens showed smoke rising from the crash site in the area of West Acres, a Steamboat Springs mobile home park. Lukens said two trailers caught fire.
Lukens spoke with a West Acres resident who was there when the crash happened.
“I just heard a jet pass by and I just hear a boom, everything around us just shakes,” Beyonce Alegria told Lukens. “There’s screaming, there’s people screaming there’s kids in there. And the houses just go up in flames. You can just feel everything going hot. Ashes are everywhere. It was one of the scariest experiences.”
FOX31 has a crew headed to the scene and is working to develop more information about what happened. Check back here and on FOX31 News at 5 p.m. for updates.
