Investigation continues on fiery plane crash on Roy street

The day after a single-engine plane clipped a car and crashed on a street in Roy, erupting in flames and smoke, investigators from the Federal Aviation Agency and the National Transportation Safety Board continued a probe into how the crash occurred.

“The pilot of a Beech A24 Sierra airplane made an emergency landing 1 mile southwest of the” Ogden-Hinckley airport, on 1900 West near 4500 South in Roy, wrote Allen Kenitzer, a spokesman for the FAA in a statement. “The aircraft had just departed Runway 21.”

The pilot did not issue any type of distress call before the Tuesday afternoon crash, said a spokesman from the tower at the Ogden-Hinckley airport on Wednesday.
