2 dead in plane crash in Stanwood area
Two women died when a small aircraft crashed in a Snohomish County field this afternoo.
The pilot, a 54-year-old woman from Camano Island, told her husband shortly before the crash that she was losing or had lost power, according to Snohomish County Sheriff's Office spokeswoman Rebecca Hover. It was not clear whether the pilot spoke with her husband by cellphone or some other means.
The pilot and her only passenger, her 34-year-old niece from Oak Harbor, died at the scene. The sheriff's office did not release the women's names. No one on the ground was injured.
The women had planned to fly a short distance, from Arlington Municipal Airport in Snohomish County to Camano Island, where the pilot had a private airstrip on her property.
Just before 1 p.m., the experimental fixed-wing aircraft crashed on its nose in a field near the 25700 block of 95th Avenue Northwest just outside Stanwood, Hover said.
The Federal Aviation Administration is leading the investigation and did not immediately return calls.
