Deputy Chief Randy Chevalier of the Timber Mesa Fire and Medical District identified those killed Wednesday as 40-year-old David A. Gillette and 11-year-old Lorelai Johansen.

Chevalier says Gillette’s hometown in Utah wasn’t immediately available, and it wasn’t clear whether he and girl were related. Circumstances of the crash weren’t immediately available.
