Two people were injured Tuesday when a small plane crashed at Plymouth Municipal Airport, police said. The crash occurred around 4 p.m., prompting a temporary closure of the airport while crews removed the aircraft and moved it to a hangar.
The two passengers were taken to a local hospital and are expected to recover, police said.
Two area residents who observed the aftermath described visible damage to the plane. “Saw the ambulance, saw all the cops, saw all the fire trucks, so we slowed down, there was people here and then I could see the plane out there. You could tell that was the one. It was a little crunched. Not terrible, but it was beat up,” said Jim Blake of Rumney. Wesley Howlett of Rumney added, “It looked like it could be fixed.”
The Federal Aviation Administration is investigating the cause of the crash. This marks the third small-plane crash in New Hampshire in recent weeks. The other two occurred at the same airfield in Jaffrey and are also under FAA investigation.
