The NTSB confirmed, in a tweet, that it is investigating the September 17, mid-air collision of a Cessna 172 with a Sonex Xenos aircraft near Longmont, Colorado.

Boulder County Sheriff’s office, in a statement, said that first responders discovered two separate crash sites.

“The first crashed aircraft was found in the 10,000 block of Niwot Rd on the south side. At this time there are two confirmed occupants in the aircraft, both of whom were deceased upon first responders arriving on scene,” the office said.

The second crashed aircraft was found in the 9,700 block of Niwot Rd on the north side, and the one confirmed occupant in it was also deceased before responder’s arrival, the office added.

The FAA and the National Transportation Safety Board are investigating the crash.
