Official: More than 75 injured in air race crash

Sep 16 08:39 PM

RENO, Nev. (AP) - A medical official says more than 75 people were injured in a plane crash at an air race event in Reno, 25 critically.
There's no word on the number of deaths, but a spokesman for the race called it a "mass casualty situation."

Stephanie Kruse, a spokeswoman for the Regional Emergency Medical Service Authority, said 25 people were critically injured and another 25 people were seriously injured in the crash.

She says the critically injured were considered to have life-threatening injuries. She says more than 25 other people were treated for minor injuries.

Kruse says so far, 40 people have been taken to local hospitals by ambulance and one person has been flown to a hospital.

The plane plunged into the stands at the National Championship Air Races at about 4:30 p.m.

Plane crashes near grandstand at Nevada air show

RENO, Nev. -- An airplane has crashed near the grandstand at the National Championship Air Races near Reno, Nev.

It wasn't immediately known if there were deaths or injuries. KRNV-TV aired videotape of the scene that showed at least four people being carried on stretchers to ambulances.

It wasn't clear what kind of airplane was involved.

Jeff Martinez, a KRNV weatherman, was just outside the air race grounds at the time of the crash. He says he saw a plane veer to the right and then "it just augered straight into the ground."

He says he saw "pieces and parts going everywhere."

The National Championship Air Races draws thousands of people every year in September to watch various military and civilian planes race.
