COEUR D'ALENE, Idaho — Editor's note: The above video was from KREM's previous reporting on the Coeur d'Alene plane crash.
The National Transportation Safety Board, or NTSB, released a preliminary factual report on their investigation into a plane crash over Lake Coeur d'Alene that killed eight people in early July.
A de Havilland owned by Brooks Seaplane and a Cessna collided over Lake Coeur d'Alene on July 5, around 2 p.m. The pilot and the passenger in the Cessna as well as the pilot and all 5 passengers in the de Havilland died in the collision, according to the report.
Witnesses of the accident described seeing the de Havilland flying north while the Cessna was headed south, according to the report. Witnesses said the airplanes were around 700 to 800 feet above the lake, and the Cessna may have been slightly lower than the de Havilland when they collided, according to the report.
The victims of the float plane were previously identified as David E. Sorensen, a 57 year-old man from Clayton, California, PGA golfer Sean Frederickson his son, and two step children, as well as Brooks Seaplane pilot Neil Lunt.
