Small plane crashes through ice at Pineview Reservoir

A small plane has crashed into the Pineview Reservoir near Huntsville Friday, with photos showing just the tail appearing above the ice.

Officials in Weber County say the crash occurred just before 1 p.m. and that the pilot and a passenger were able to safely get out of the plane and were not injured.


“This is the first actual plane crash into Pineview in my 25-year career,” said Weber County Sheriff’s Office Lt. Colby Ryan. “Just as the pilot and only passenger were getting out of the water onto the ice, they were able to walk to shore where medical crews treated them for cold exposure.”

An eyewitness says he saw the plane flying overhead at around 12:15 p.m. and said it appeared to have skids on the front gear, but he did not see the plane land.

It’s not known if the plane landed on the ice intentionally or if it was an emergency landing. The cause of the crash is being investigated by the FAA and the Department of Forest Service.

Bourbon Street was a short walk away. Families flooded into town. Texas fans, much to Washington’s chagrin, were all over the Huskies’ team hotel, too. This was their time to lock in and focus. They needed to block out distractions, though the midnight fireworks downtown made it hard to get to sleep early. He reminded them they’d been working their whole lives for an opportunity like the one they’d earned. They’d won their past nine games by 10 or fewer points and needed second-half comebacks to win three of them. All of it had carried them to this moment. He told them to be ready. No one was more ready than Penix himself, who connect...
