TRUCKEE — A single-engine plane crashed while departing Monday from Truckee Tahoe Airport, seriously injuring all four people aboard.

Federal Aviation Administration spokesman Ian Gregor said the single-engine Cessna 206 crashed at 6:49 p.m. Monday shortly after takeoff, coming to rest upside-down between Martis Creek Dam Road and Highway 267 in the Martis Valley.

Bob Bena, assistant chief with Truckee Fire Protection District, said three people were taken by Truckee Fire ambulances to Tahoe Forest Hospital, and the fourth was flown by a Careflight helicopter to Renown Regional Medical Center in Reno. Names of the passengers and updates on their condition are unknown.

Truckee Fire's rescue rig was used for extrication, Bena said.

“It took a little time to get all the patients out,” he said.

Calfire, California Highway Patrol, Truckee Police Department and Placer County Sheriff's Office also responded to the crash.

There is no immediate information on the crash's cause or the plane's destination.

An FAA and National Transportation Safety Board safety inspector team arrived Tuesday morning to begin the investigation, Gregor said.

FAA records show the plane was manufactured in 1966 and is registered to Trolan Enterprises LLC in Missoula, Montana.
