A tragic collision between two planes at Marana Airport in Arizona has left at least two people dead.

The incident occurred on Wednesday morning, with images quickly circulating on social media showing thick black smoke rising from the airport, located just outside of Tucson.

The collision, which happened at 8:29 a.m. local time, involved two planes that were occupied at the time of impact.

Investigation Underway as Authorities Scramble for Answers

At this time, the cause of the crash remains unclear.

Authorities are still working to piece together how the planes collided and what led to the devastating accident.

The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) has confirmed it is investigating the mid-air collision, though no official details have been released about the victims or the exact circumstances surrounding the crash.

According to the NTSB’s update on X (formerly Twitter), the planes involved were a Cessna 172S and a Lancair 360 MK II.

Recent Aviation Accidents Highlight Ongoing Safety Concerns

This collision comes just days after a Delta Airlines flight made an emergency crash landing in Toronto, where it flipped upside down.

While that incident resulted in several serious injuries, miraculously, no lives were lost.

However, the recent spate of aviation accidents has raised concerns, particularly with the high-profile crash that occurred last month at Reagan National Airport, which claimed the lives of 67 people.

Ongoing Updates Expected as Authorities Investigate

As investigations continue, Marana Airport and local authorities have been contacted for further details on the incident.

This tragic crash is still unfolding, and DailyMail.com will keep readers updated as new information emerges.
