The county sheriff’s office released a statement on Facebook saying it received reports of a “plane going into the ground” shortly following it took off from Canyonlands Airfield, regarding 15 miles north of Moab. around 2:30 p.m. (20:30) local time. Police, Moab County Fire Department personnel and EMS personnel responded to the scene.
Larsen’s death was first confirmed by Senator David Hogue, the North Dakota Senate Majority Leader, in an email to colleagues, according to the Associated Press.
Hogue said, “I don’t know where we end with this bereavement table like this, but I think it starts with prayers for parents who have lost grandchildren, [tugakomereza ku] “The remaining child does not match both parents with Senator Larsen’s other children, and Doug and Amy’s extended family.”
The regional police headquarters said the plane was found in a remote area bordering the airport.
The National Aviation Safety Agency announced on the X website, formerly known as Twitter, that it is “investigating the crash on Oct. [10] of the plane [yo mu bwoko bwa] Piper PA-28-140 near Moab, Utah”.
Canyonlands Airport remains operational, pending an investigation.
