Two people who were killed in a small plane crash just east of the runway at the Erie Municipal Airport in Colorado earlier this month have been identified. They have been identified as Niles Tilenius and William Johnston, according to the Weld County Coroner’s Office.
Tilenius, 22, was from San Mateo County, California and Johnston, 21, was from Hillsborough County, Florida.
According to investigators, the small plane crashed around 3:32 p.m. on Oct. 19. There were two occupants on board at the time of the crash.
An Erie police spokesman told CBS News Colorado that FAA investigators responded to the scene. They shared that the FAA and the National Transportation Safety Board were investigating the crash.
Erie is about 25 miles northwest of Denver and 13 miles east of Boulder.
