Fatal Airplane Crash Reported at Marana Regional Airport in Arizona

This marks the second fatal aviation accident in the state within 10 days.

At least one person lost their life Wednesday following a collision involving multiple aircraft at Marana Regional Airport, just north of Tucson, Arizona. This marks the second fatal aviation accident in the state within 10 days.

Authorities have yet to provide details on the types of aircraft involved or the circumstances leading up to the crash. The Marana Police Department confirmed the fatality but offered limited information, stating only that it was an "aircraft collision." Federal agencies, including the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB), are set to investigate the incident.

Photos taken by witnesses and shared by local news outlet KGUN 9 captured thick plumes of smoke rising from the scene, underscoring the severity of the crash.

The tragedy follows a deadly accident on February 10 at Scottsdale Airport, where a private jet owned by Mötley Crüe singer Vince Neil was involved in a runway collision, resulting in the pilot’s death.

Officials at Marana Regional Airport have not yet responded to requests for comment. The identity of the victim in Wednesday’s crash remains undisclosed as investigations continue.
