In what can only be described as a remarkable turn of events, a county spokesperson has confirmed that the aircraft deployed a full-airframe parachute system prior to impact. This life-saving measure allowed the two people on board to escape the crippled plane. Both individuals were subsequently transported to a local hospital for precautionary evaluation.
