The identities of the crew and passengers killed in a medical flight crash outside Reno are being released as efforts are underway to raise money for the victims’ 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.
Scott Walton was the pilot of the PC-12 fixed-wing aircraft and spent many years flying and teaching students around the world. He leaves behind a wife and three young children.
“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.”
