Two people are confirmed dead after an aircraft collision in Arizona on Feb. 19.

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) are responding to the crash, as well as local law enforcement.

The crash took place near the Marana Regional Airport in Marana, Arizona—about 20 miles northwest of Tucson—and details about the crash are limited at this time.

The NTSB announced on social media that the crash occurred midair and that the agency was responding. NTSB confirmed that the crash involved a Cessna 172S and a Lancair 360 MK II, which are small, single-engine aircraft that seat four and two individuals, respectively.

The FAA told The Epoch Times that the crash took place at the uncontrolled airfield at about 8:25 a.m. local time. The agency also confirmed that two people were on board each aircraft and that the NTSB would lead the investigation into the crash.

An uncontrolled airfield, such as the one near where the crash took place, is one in which the airport does not have a control tower and pilots use a common frequency to announce their presence and intention to other pilots in the area.

The pilots of the aircraft are responsible for maintaining safe distances from other aircraft while complying with all FAA regulations. These include minimum visibility, minimum safe altitudes, and right-of-way rules. The agency did not offer any information about which aircraft might have been at fault or what caused the crash.

The crash comes on the heels of a Toronto passenger airplane crash that occurred on Feb. 17. That crash had no fatalities, but 21 of the 76 passengers were injured and transported to hospitals in the area.

The Canadian crash was the fourth major incident of its kind in North America in recent weeks. On Jan. 29, a deadly crash between an American Airlines Jet and an Army Black Hawk helicopter near Washington, D.C., killed 67 people.

The mid-air collision occurred a few hundred feet above the ground before both aircraft crashed into the Potomac River. All 60 passengers and four crew members were killed, along with three service members in the Army helicopter.

Just two days later, a medical transport plane crashed in Philadelphia, killing six on board and another person on the ground. And on Feb. 6, an Alaska plane crash took the lives of 10 people on board.
