Cirrus SR22 Down In Mountainous Terrain North Of Las Vegas

Authorities Having Difficulty Reaching Accident Scene To Begin An Investigation

The NTSB has yet to begin an investigation into an accident involving a Cirrus SR22 which went down last week north of Las Vegas in part because of the rugged terrain in the region. Three people were fatally injured in the accident.

Television station KSNV reports that rescuers waited four days after the accident to travel to the scene and recover the remains of the three people on board. Authorities have identified one of the people as Gregory Akers of Henderson, NV. His business website indicates he is an "aviation expert and photographer".

The accident occurred last Tuesday, November 26th. The NTSB said that there are some options for examining the wreckage of the SR22, including aerial photographs of the accident scent and then brining the wreckage off the mountain for analysis. NTSB investigators may also travel directly to the accident scene, but local Las Vegas aviation analyst Reed Yaldon said said "either way, there might not be much to see."

It is not known how much of the aircraft remains on the mountain, as there apparently was a post-impact fire which burned for a few minutes. Yaldon said much of the aircraft was likely destroyed.
