1 killed in small plane crash in NW Colorado

Authorities say a man was killed in a small plane crash in northwestern Colorado’s Routt County.

Steamboat Today reports a sheep herder discovered the crash near Milner at about noon on Saturday, and the pilot, whose name has not been released, was the only person on board.

Undersheriff Ray Birch says the man is not from the area, and it is unclear when the single-engine Piper crashed.

The Federal Aviation Administration and the National Transportation Safety Board have been notified of the crash.
