MESA, AZ — Officials say two people are injured after two planes collided mid-air at Falcon Field Friday afternoon.
The incident occurred just before 1 p.m.
After investigating, the FAA determined there was a mid-air collision during an aerial demonstration.
Officials on the scene confirmed the first airplane landed without incident, while the second plane crashed while landing.
Officials say the crash occurred because the plane's landing gear failed.
A witness described the sound of the incident as a "car crash."
The plane, which has "U.S. Air Force" labeling on the side, shows severe damage to the tail of the aircraft.
The two individuals' injuries are considered non-life threatening, according to officials, though they were trapped in the plane after the crash. They both refused transport to the hospital.
Multiple fire crews were seen responding to the incident.
An investigation remains ongoing.
