Bodies Under Medical Examination
All the dead bodies were transferred to the Medical Examiner’s office for medical examination. All the passengers were dead on the spot and no survivors were reported, according to Sheriff Brad Pope. The investigation is still underway and it’ll take some time to know what may have caused the crash, Brad said.
Prior Winter Storm Warnings
The National Weather Service in Reno issued prior storm warnings for Nevada. Extreme weather conditions and wind gusts of 65 miles per hour could be the reason that caused the plane crash. The final report is still to come to further clarify what could have gone wrong with the plane.
