Death toll in Colorado air crash revised to 4; no survivors

Aviation investigators now say four people died in a Colorado plane crash, not five as they initially reported.

National Transportation Safety Board spokesman Peter Knudson said Tuesday that no one survived.

The NTSB said Monday five people were aboard, but Knudson said Tuesday the agency had been given incorrect information.

Knudson says the twin-engine Cessna 310 was flying from Barstow, California, to Amarillo, Texas, when it crashed Sunday in San Juan County in southwestern Colorado.

The crash was about 150 miles north of a straight-line route from Barstow to Amarillo. Knudson says investigators don’t know why the plane took that route.

The victims’ names haven’t been released. Knudson says two pilots were aboard, but neither was rated to fly a twin-engine plane.

The county sheriff and coroner didn’t immediately return calls for comment.
