SILVERTON, Colo. (AP) - A federal aviation investigator is expected to examine the scene of a plane crash that killed five people in the southwestern Colorado mountains.
National Transportation Safety Board spokesman Peter Knudson said Tuesday the investigator was expected to be at the remote site later in the day.
Knudson has said all five people aboard the twin-engine Cessna 310 died when it crashed Sunday in the San Juan Mountains near Silverton.
Knudson couldn't say whether the plane is the same Cessna 310 reported overdue on a flight from Barstow, California, to Amarillo, Texas.
The San Juan County Sheriff's Department said on Twitter that authorities were still trying to notify the family of one victim before releasing any names.
Sheriff's officers didn't return calls. A dispatcher referred questions to federal officials.
