A U.S. Civil Air Patrol plane crashed in the mountains near Drake on Saturday, resulting in an unknown number of casualties, according to the agency.
Lt. Col. Mark Young of the Civil Air Patrol said Saturday afternoon that one of the agency’s planes had crashed. He would not confirm whether anyone had died but said the Larimer County Sheriff’s Office was working to reach survivors at the crash site.
“We know there are survivors, and we’re doing the best we can to get the proper resources up to rescue them,” Young said.
The sheriff’s office wrote in a social media post shortly after noon that deputies and Larimer County Emergency Services were responding to a downed plane near Storm Mountain.
The Civil Air Patrol is the official auxiliary of the U.S. Air Force — its Colorado wing is based at Peterson Space Force Base in Colorado Springs and participates in search-and-rescue missions and training exercises across the state.
