Early Wednesday, a single-engine airplane with two people on board went down on the Meridian Golf Course in Douglas County. The incident occurred specifically on the 7th hole tee box, close to Centennial Airport, as reported by the Douglas County Sheriff's Office and captured by several local news sources. According to 9NEWS, one person involved in the crash was evaluated for minor injuries at the scene, with no subsequent hospitalization deemed necessary.

The aircraft, as per photographs shared by South Metro Fire Rescue (SMFR) and reported by Denver7, appeared to be affiliated with the ATP Flight Academy, a flight school with numerous campuses across the nation. As the story continues to develop, there is anticipation for more details to slowly emerge regarding the circumstances of the crash and the condition of those involved.

Investigation into the crash will be conducted by the National Transportation Safety Board and the Federal Aviation Administration, though the reason behind the accident has yet to be determined. Details regarding the nature of the plane's flight before the incident have not been immediately available. The private Meridian Golf Club, where the crash took an unexpected turn, lies east of Interstate 25 on Meridian Boulevard, as noted by KDVR.
