A two-person plane crashed around 1:30 p.m. Friday, Aug. 26, near the 12-mile mark of Interstate 11 just outside the city limits.

The pilot and passenger survived the crash and were taken to the hospital with minor injuries.

The crash happened between I-11 and the Townsite Solar area. No solar panels were damaged when the plane crashed into a fence that separates the solar plant and interstate.

According to witnesses, the plane was supposed to touch down about 100 yards away from the eventual crash site. Instead, the pilot lost control of the plane and it crashed.

Clark County firefighters and Federal Aviation Administration investigators arrived on the scene and probed the plane crash site around 2:30 p.m.

The single-engine plane manufactured by Flight Design General Aviation GmbH suffered minor damage, according to the FAA. The National Transportation Safety Board is investigating the crash.

City’s pet licensing proposal still in limbo
By Bill Evans Boulder City Review

As the proposal to allow for a license for pet breeding, as well as the keeping of more animals than the three currently allowed by city code that came within inches of becoming law in March of this year, appears to be in some kind of limbo. After it was tabled, and has not yet been rescheduled to come back before the city council, a related case recently came before the municipal court.
