Medical Transport Plane Down In Elko, NV

Four Fatally Injured In Friday Night Accident

An airplane transporting a heart patient departing Elko, NV Friday night went down in a parking lot, resulting in the fatal injury of all four people on board.

The Elko Daily Free Press reports that the plane was transporting a heart patient to the University of Utah, according to an Elko cardiologist.
