A midair collision between a Metroliner and SR-22 near Denver Centennial Airport has thankfully resulted in no apparent injuries. The Metroliner carrying cargo ended up landing safely at APA, while the SR-22 appears to have used its Cirrus Airframe Parachute System (CAPS).

[Flightradar24 @flightradar24]

Based a review of our data it appears that the SR-22 is N416DJ and the Swearingen SA226TC is N280KL operating flight KG970.
