The two people killed in a plane crash in Broomfield on Sunday were both pilots, and a witness with aviation experience along the departure path said he heard issues with the engine shortly before it crashed, according to the NTSB.

The NTSB and Broomfield Police Department provided an update on the deadly crash on Monday morning.

No one witnessed the crash, but there was one person on the departure path with aviation experience who heard abnormal engine sounds described as two carburetor coughs, according to Folkerts. About 10 seconds later, the same witness heard the crash. The weather was good at the time of the flight, according to Folkerts. Investigators will focus on the shallow climb path and six propeller strikes found on the roadway. They'll also look into data from the plane, any possible maintenance issues, pilot records and environmental factors, among other facts.

Haslett thanked the first responders as well as all of the community members who tried to assist the victims after the crash.
