A medical transport flight that crashed in a mountainous area in northern Nevada on Friday, killing five all five people aboard the plane including a patient, apparently broke apart before hitting the ground, authorities said.

Visibility was under two miles with a cloud ceiling about 2,000 feet above ground when the flight left Reno for Salt Lake City, Utah, and went down, according to the weather service.

Robin Hays, a Stagecoach resident and a former flight nurse, said she heard the sputtering plane fly over her house before crashing behind her property. “It was snowing and visibility was horrible. I don’t even understand why that plane was allowed to take off,” Gruenemay said.

This is so tragic...🤦🏻‍♂️

According to the ADS-B info, they hit a descent speed of 20,000ft/min. That would tear apart any plane

Sad. Imagine a patient dying twice 😓

Heartbreaking 💔
