Two people have been killed in a midair plane crash in Arizona, police said. The small, single-engine aircraft both had two people onboard when they made contact above Marana Regional Airport, north-west of Tucson.
The Cessna 172S and a Lancair 360 MK II planes collided while upwind of runway 12 according to the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB), leading the investigation.
NTSB said the Cessna "landed uneventfully" and the Lancair "impacted terrain near runway 3 and a post-impact fire ensued" and confirmed it was investigating the collision.

The incident happened on Wednesday morning above Marana Regional Airport - an uncontrolled field, which means it does not have an air traffic control tower in operation.
On Monday a Delta Air Lines flight in Toronto flipped upside down following a botched landing. All 80 people survived.
