Fatal plane crash leaves nearby neighborhood shaken.

Amy Webb was enjoying her Friday evening listening to music in her Parker home when the engine of a plane that had crashed in a field across from her house blasted through her living room wall.

The plane crash killed at least one man — pilot Robert D. Marquis, 67, from Glade Park, on the Western Slope.

“The real tragedy is for the pilot’s family,” Webb said. “We just have a hole in our house, but the real sadness is for them.”

Webb heard a strange noise over her music about 8:15 p.m. Friday and turned down the tunes to get a better listen.

“Then there was a huge, loud bang and the back wall of my house blew in,” Webb said.

Although Webb didn’t know what had happened, her first instinct was to get her and her two daughters outside in the family’s Stepping Stone subdivision in case the structure of her home was unsound. When she went around back to get a better look at what just crashed through her wall, she immediately knew she was looking at an engine but had no idea what from or how it got there.

Webb called 911, not knowing emergency responders were already out searching for a missing plane.

“My call was the first call to say there’s this engine in my house and to direct them to where this crash had happened,” Webb said.

Emergency responders swarmed Webb’s house within minutes and started extinguishing the engine, which was hot and smoking.

“Then it was just everyone, all the first responders, in and out all night,” Webb said.

South Metro Fire Rescue and other first responders originally combed the field behind Webb’s house for potential survivors but determined around 9 p.m. that the “high speed impact” of the crash would have killed anyone on board.

Details about what caused the crash were not available Saturday afternoon. A report is expected to come out later in the week.

As authorities readied to remove the engine chunk from Webb’s home, her children jumped on a trampoline in their backyard. The children of neighbors blew bubbles in their backyard, and curious onlookers continued to walk up to take pictures of the visible plane part sticking out of a suburban home. Police were still investigating the fenced-off field where the plane had crashed.

The aircraft was a Sr22 Cirrus, which is described on its website as a single-engine, four- or fiveseat propeller plane with a parachute system.

The plane left from Centennial Airport around 8:15 p.m., according to Federal Aviation Administration spokesman Ian Gregor.

Shortly after departing, Marquis indicated he wanted to return to the airport. Marquis did not say why he wanted to return, Gregor said.

The plane then crashed in a field near 11067 Pastel Point, he said.

Gregor said he did not know how many people were aboard the aircraft.

There were no reports of injuries to anybody on the ground.

The FAA and National Transportation Safety Board are investigating, Gregor said.

The neighborhood was bustling with authorities and concerned residents coming outside to view the commotion on the foggy Friday night.

Isaiah Bellais, 40, who lives in the Stepping Stone neighborhood, said he and his wife had just put their children to bed when the two saw the crash from a bedroom window. Bellais said they heard a thud and saw a cloud of dust and smoke in the field west of their home.

“‘I’m going out there,’” Bellais told his wife.

She initially tried to talk him out of it, saying it was too dark. But Bellais said he ran toward the crash site, several hundred feet behind his home, spotting a wing that had been ripped off the airplane.

“That’s when I called 911,” Bellais said.

Bellais looked around the area and found seats that had been in the plane.

“Then I saw body parts,” he said.

Bellais said it seemed as though there was only one body in the field.

More than an hour after the crash, Bellais was shaken by the incident: “I’m still scared. … I’ve had a fear of being the first person on a traffic accident, never mind a plane crash.”
