Three passengers were killed in a mid-air collision between two small planes in Colorado, USA.

The two planes collided over Boulder County, 30 miles north of Denver on Saturday morning local time (September 17). 

After the collision, the two planes crashed in two separate places in an open field, London-based International News Agency reported.

It is known that the two planes collided in mid-air at 8.50 minutes local time of the country. One of the two planes that collided was a Cessna 172, the other a Sonex Genos.

Sonex Zenos is an aluminum light aircraft that can be built at home. The Cessna 172 Skyhawk is a small single-engine aircraft with only 4 seats.

Investigators are looking into what caused the two planes to collide, the US National Transportation Safety Board said.

The Boulder County Sheriff's Office said three people were on board both planes. A plane had a pilot and a passenger. Both were killed in the accident. Only the pilot was in the other plane. He died on the spot after the accident.
