Stunning images depict Colorado plane crash on golf course
Golfers stroll past debris on the tee box at Meridian Golf Course near Centennial Airport.
In the Denver area, a small plane that crashed onto a golf course was captured in dramatic images by first responders in Colorado.
On Wednesday, at the Meridian Golf Course in Englewood, just south of Centennial Airport, a Cessna 172 aircraft incident occurred, as stated by South Metro Fire Rescue.
Two individuals were aboard the aircraft that had just departed Centennial Airport runway 17R," the department stated. "Both parties were able to safely evacuate from the airplane on their own.
The second party sustained no injuries, while the first party suffered minor injuries and was checked by fire medics but refused transport or any further medical attention.
The seventh tee box of the golf course was where the plane came to a stop, as shown in images from the scene.
Golfers can be seen walking past a plane while playing a round in one photo.
According to South Metro Fire Rescue, there were no reported fires following the crash, and both the National Transportation Safety Board and Federal Aviation Administration will be investigating.
The cause of the plane's descent from the sky is unclear.
On Saturday, Planet Chronicle Digital sent a request for comment to the FAA, but the agency did not respond promptly.
