On September 6, 2018, about 0725 mountain daylight time, a Cessna T310R, N376JA, experienced a partial loss of engine power in both engines shortly after takeoff from Laramie Regional Airport (LAR), Laramie, Wyoming. The pilot climbed to 8,500 feet mean sea level and leveled off for cruise flight when he reported feeling a vibration and fluttering in the airplane. He advanced throttles to return to LAR but the engines did not respond. The pilot was unable to make it back to LAR; he executed a forced landing onto prairieland and the airplane sustained substantial damage. The commercial-rated pilot was not injured. The airplane was registered to DBT Transportation Services LLC and operated under the provisions of Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 91 as a business flight.

The Albany County Sheriff's Office received a call around 7:30 a.m. on Thursday, September 6 from the Laramie Regional Airport. The airport had received a call from a pilot that had recently departed. He felt a shuddering in his plane and realized that his engines were losing power.
Upon his realization, the pilot attempted to turn the plane around for a landing at the Laramie airport. He was unable to make it back, instead making a crash landing in a private field south of the interstate. The pilot, who is a Laramie resident, was the only person in the plane.
The Federal Aviation Administration has been contacted about the accident, but will not pursue an investigation.
