twitterOne Dead, One Injured in Rural Plane Crash
Thursday, July 25, 1996 | 11:59 a.m.
The plane went down shortly after 9 a.m. near the intersection of U.S. 50 and State Route 341 just east of Carson City.
Witnesses told KRNV-FM that the plane sputtered and hit the ground before the engine revved up again. The aircraft then hit a mound of dirt and cartwheeled through a field, slamming into a trailer that was parked in a construction yard and bursting into flames.
No one on the ground was injured.
The pilot, Stanley Eugene Bailey, 67, was first flown to Washoe Medical Center in Reno in critical condition, then flown to the burn unit at University Medical Center in Las Vegas, hospital spokeswoman Kerry Garcia said.
Bailey's hometown was not immediately known.
Authorities had not determined where the plane had taken off or its destination.
The name of the passenger was not revealed.
