Two people were confirmed dead after two small planes collided mid-air at Marana Regional Airport in Arizona around 8:30 a.m. local time. The crash involved a Cessna 172S and a Lancair 360 MK II, each with two people aboard. One plane managed to land, while the other caught fire after crashing near the runway. The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) confirmed the fatalities came from one aircraft, while the other two passengers were uninjured. The airport, which lacks an air traffic control tower, is temporarily closed for investigation. Marana officials expressed condolences and thanked responders for their swift action. The airport is part of the FAA’s Air Traffic Control Tower Program, which may lead to future improvements.
