LAS CRUCES >> Authorities are still investigating the cause of Monday morning's plane crash, but New Mexico State Police have released the names of the two people onboard.
Las Cruces resident Seth Baker, 42, is the owner and pilot of the aircraft, Lt. James Frietze said. Also in the plane was 31-year-old Kathlyn Drexler, who has a Las Cruces address on her identification but told police she lives in Texas.
Baker was demonstrating the plane as part of a potential sale, Frietze said.
Drexler's family was watching from the Las Cruces International Airport and called authorities about the crash about 8 a.m., Frietze said.
The plane went down about an eighth of a mile west of Runway 8, Frietze said
Fire crews along with paramedics from American Medical Response treated Baker and Drexler, according to news release from the Las Cruces Fire Department. Frietze said Baker was transported to University Medical Center in El Paso. Drexler declined further treatment.
Neither could be reached Wednesday.
There was no fire, but a small amount of fuel leaked from the wrecked plane, Frietze said. It was not enough to warrant a hazmat response.
Monday's crash was the second in four days near the Las Cruces Airport.
On Aug. 27 four people died when an air ambulance crashed an caught fire. A cancer patient from Las Cruces, along with two medics and a pilot from El Paso were en route to Phoenix.
