SANTA FE – A passenger killed in a Sept. 26 plane crash in northern New Mexico has been identified as Eric Page, 29, of Littleton, Colorado.

He was identified by state Office of Medical Investigator, New Mexico State Police said Tuesday.

The pilot killed in the crash in mountains in the Pecos Wilderness in Mora County was identified previously as another Littleton resident, 29-year-old Nicholas Peterson.

The single-engine plane was on a flight from Santa Fe to Broomfield, Colorado.

The wreckage was found near Hamilton Mesa after a three-day search. Much of the wreckage was consumed by fire after the crash.

The National Transportation Safety Board is investigating the cause of the crash.
