NEW YORK – According to officials, a small plane crashed in a residential area on Long Island on Sunday afternoon, resulting in the death of one person and critical injuries to at least two others.
The FAA reported that the single-engine Piper PA 28 crashed in North Lindenhurst around 3 p.m., just before reaching its intended destination of Republic Airport in Farmingdale.
It is believed that all three individuals were aboard the plane during the crash, and no civilians on the ground were harmed, Babylon Town Supervisor Rich Shaffer told WNBC.
The injured passengers were airlifted by a helicopter to Stony Brook Hospital for treatment, while the FAA and NTSB will conduct investigations into the cause of the accident.
