NTSB reports on small plane crash that killed one in New York-Connecticut border incident

The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) released a preliminary report on a small plane crash on December 12, which killed one person and injured the pilot. The plane lost engine power before landing on Interstate 684 near Greenwich, Connecticut. The flight, which was headed from Linden, New Jersey, to Albany, diverted to Westchester County Airport due to engine issues. The pilot reported losing engine power shortly after takeoff. A passing motorist helped rescue one person from the wreckage. Initial examinations did not show catastrophic mechanical failure, and the wreckage is being further examined. The NTSB is investigating multiple plane crashes in the state, with at least seven involving small airplanes resulting in fatalities this year.
