The identities of the 5 people killed in Friday's medical flight crash have been released as fundraising efforts are underway for families and funeral expenses.
Five people were killed in the crash late Friday as the Care Flight crew was transporting a patient to receive medical attention. Authorities began receiving calls about the incident near Stagecoach around 9:15 p.m. and found the wreckage two hours later. The crash occurred amid a winter storm warning issued by the National Weather Service in Reno for large portions of Nevada.
"Transporting patients to receive life-saving care was an absolute passion and life’s mission for Scott," said his sister-in-law, Katie Maguire Walton, on a GoFundMe page."He was one of those special people who lit up a room, who brought smiles to everyone’s face, who never met a stranger." "Ryan loved being a Flight Medic and brought a positive attitude to every call and patient interaction he had. Ryan had an infectious personality; he was hilarious, ambitious, and free-spirited. He loved traveling the world and going on extreme adventures outside of work with his beautiful wife Kailey, Family, and Friends," a GoFundMe page in his honor read.
"Mark and Terri were big hearted, family oriented, proud parents and grandparents," the fundraising site said.
