A little over a week after a small plane crashed in the yard of an Arvada home, another small plane has crashed in Colorado. A Cessna 421 crashed into the West Acres Mobile Home Park in Steamboat Springs around 4:23 p.m. on Monday.

The Steamboat Springs Fire Rescue said two trailers were engulfed in flames and others were damaged. Crews were on site to contain the fire.

It has been confirmed by the Steamboat Springs Police Department that "two people, the pilot and a passenger, were confirmed to have died in the plane crash."

The Routt County Coroner is notifying the next of kin.
