ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (KRQE) – An Albuquerque resident was among three pilots killed in a fiery cargo plane crash earlier this week. FAA records show that 45-year-old Lee Truitt was a UPS pilot based out of Albuquerque. The jet went down on Tuesday after an engine separated from a wing during takeoff from an airport in Louisville.

All three crew members on board and at least nine people on the ground died in the fiery wreck. More than a dozen others were injured as well.
