o injuries were reported after two planes collided midair over Cherry Creek State Park on Wednesday morning, South Metro Fire Rescue said.
A Federal Aviation Administration spokesman said a Cirrus SR-22 with two occupants and a Swearingen Metroliner SA226TC with one occupant collided about four miles north of Centennial Airport about 10:25 a.m.
The National Transportation Safety Board said it appears the collision happened as both planes were in the process of landing.
The pilot of the Cirrus deployed the plane’s parachute and crashed in the park near East Belleview Avenue and South Peoria Street.
There were no fires or fuel spills, the Arapahoe County Sheriff s Office said, and both people onboard walked away from the crash without suffering any injuries.

Some 30 years ago we bought a small holiday property in France. We knew France well, through our tourist business, so there was no question of where we wanted to buy. Collioure, in Pyrénées-Orientales, is the most beautiful port town. The location was ideal for us, at the end of the French motorway system with easy access to Spain and the Palafrugell area, where we had our Catalan contacts.
Our one-bedroom apartment was ready to move into, with a small balcony looking south to Port-Vendres and out to sea. The residence had a pool and communal gardens with a caretaker. The property also had an active rental business, with mainly French customers.
