First responders investigating the scene after two small planes collided in mid-air over Cherry Creek State Park.
Two small planes collided in mid-air over Cherry Creek State Park on Wednesday morning and no one was hurt.
One single-engine plane landed safely at the park after deploying a parachute that slowed the falling plane. The pilot and one passenger walked away uninjured.
Eric Hurst, a public information officer with South Metro Fire Rescue, said that’s remarkable.
“The two people in that plane were able to safely step out of the aircraft. Neither one of them was injured or wanted to go to the hospital,” he said. “That’s a good day for us.”
