Cause of plane crash at Harvey Airfield not yet determined

A single-engine plane struck a pickup on Airport Way on Saturday morning. No one was injured.

SNOHOMISH — The cause of a small airplane crash at Harvey Airfield remained unclear Monday.

Around 11:42 a.m. Saturday, a single-engine aircraft with two occupants crashed into the airport’s south perimeter security fence, striking a Dodge Ram 1500 on Airport Way, Snohomish County Sheriff’s Office spokesperson Courtney O’Keefe said Monday. No injuries were reported.

Snohomish County Fire District 4 and sheriff’s deputies responded to the scene.

Police closed the road Saturday afternoon. Lanes opened back up at 3 p.m.

The Van’s Aircraft RV-10, built from a kit circa 2019, was registered to Thomas Spencer, who has an address in Vergennes, Vermont, according to Federal Aviation Administration records. The plane’s registration was set to expire in 2028. It was using a Lycoming IO-540 engine.

The federal agency typically tasked with investigating plane crashes, the National Transportation Safety Board, did not immediately respond to a request for comment Monday.

Correction: An earlier version of this story misidentified the documentation set to expire in 2028.
