A small medical aircraft crashed near Ruidoso in remote Captain Mountain, New Mexico, Thursday morning, killing all four people on board. The plane departed Roswell and was heading to Sierra Blanca Regional Airport when it lost contact. Because the crash site lies in rugged, elevated terrain, initial access for rescue crews was difficult, though teams later confirmed there were no survivors. Investigators have not released names or aircraft details, and the cause is under review by the FAA and NTSB.
