SEDONA, AZ — Yavapai County officials say two people walked away unharmed after a plane crash-landed in the Sedona area on Monday morning.
Sheriff’s officials say they were called to the area near Cathedral Rock around 8:30 a.m. for reports of a plane crash. When they arrived, they found that a small plane had landed in the area after the occupants deployed an emergency parachute system on the plane.
Officials say the occupants of the plane, a husband and wife, were not injured and were able to walk away.
“They had successfully deployed the ‘Cirrus CAPS System’—a parachute for the entire aircraft, helping the plane land on the side of the mountain,” officials said.
Officials told ABC15 around 11:30 a.m. Monday that crews were in the process of hiking to the downed plane.
There is no word yet on what led to the crash. The investigation is ongoing.
