LARKSPUR, Colo. (KRDO) - Emergency crews are on-scene of a plane that crashed on I-25 near Larkspur Sunday morning.

CSP says 2 people had to be extricated from the plane and taken to a hospital. Their injuries are unknown at this time. The Douglas County Sheriff's Office (DCSO) posted on social media that emergency crews had to "wade through waist-deep water to bring parties out."
