Two people were aboard the plane when it went down, one of whom died as a result of the crash, according to a police source.
The other was critically injured and taken to Westchester Medical Center. Neither victim's identity was immediately available.The highway was shut down as a police investigation was ongoing. The FAA was also looking into the crash, and NTSB investigators were expected to arrive Friday.
