Small Medical Plane Crashes In New Mexico, Killing All 4 People Aboard

A small medical plane has crashed outside Ruidoso, New Mexico, killing all four people aboard. Lincoln County Manager Jason Burns says the cause of the crash Thursday morning remains unknown. The Federal Aviation Administration says the flight departed from Roswell Air Center and was headed to Sierra Blanca Regional Airport. The FAA and National Transportation Safety Board will investigate. Burns says the U.S. Forest Service is working with local agencies to suppress a fire “associated” with the crash. Ruidoso sits at the base of south-central New Mexico’s Sierra Blanca range. The surrounding area is heavily forested and rural.
