Dan Dunn, 67, and Jessica Melton, 42, died in the plane crash, according to Routt County coroner Mitch Locke. None of the residents in the West Acres mobile home park were injured. Dunn was piloting the plane and Melton was the sole passenger, but it’s unclear what the two’s relationship was, Locke said.
