LAS VEGAS (KLAS) – A Las Vegas couple died, and one man was injured in a plane crash near the Nevada-California border last week, according to documents obtained by 8 News Now.

On Nov. 10, a small plane, rented from a North Las Vegas company, took off from an airport in California before crashing near the state line. Maria and Brett Egarr Sr., a Las Vegas couple, died in the crash, and their son, Brett Jr., survived, according to family who spoke with 8 News Now.

“While we sincerely appreciate the opportunity to share more about our loved ones, and are incredibly grateful and humbled that the media is wanting to speak on our parents’ legacy, as a family, we are asking for privacy and understanding during this difficult time in our lives. Thank you,” Krista Lang, the victims’ daughter, wrote in an email to 8 News Now.

Following an evening takeoff from Bishop Airport, the Inyo County Sheriff’s Office received a report of a missing aircraft. The next morning, search and rescue patrols found the crashed plane around 50 miles west of the Nevada-California border.

One survivor, Brett Jr., sustained several injuries and was airlifted to Bishop Airport, where he was treated by emergency medical workers.

On Nov. 13, 702 Aviation, a company based out of North Las Vegas Airport, posted a link to donate to the victims’ family along with a message of condolences.

“702 Aviation extends its deepest thoughts and support to the pilot, their loved ones, and all those impacted,” 702 Aviation staff wrote in a social media post. “The aviation community is a family, and we stand with them during this time of loss.”

8 News Now contacted members of the family and verified the GoFundMe account, titled: “Support the Egarr Family After Tragic Loss,” which has been organized by friends of the Egarr family to help pay for medical and funeral costs.
