The cause of the Wednesday crash in York County remains unknown.
In its initial report, the Federal Aviation Administration said a flight crew member was killed in the Fairview Township crash. Another person, a plane passenger, was seriously injured, according to the report.
The single-engine Cessna aircraft crashed into a utility truck around 2:35 p.m. “under unknown circumstances,” the FAA said. Ted Czech with York County’s emergency management office said the truck is believed to have been driving on the turnpike exit ramp when it was struck. The turnpike ramp is less than a mile from the Capital City Airport, although Czech said that responders could not yet confirm if the plane was trying to land, nor any other details as to what may have caused it to go down.
The plane’s two occupants were taken to the hospital, one via ambulance and one via helicopter. The driver of the truck was not seriously injured, Czech said. The crash closed all of the entrance and exit ramps connecting the turnpike to Interstate 83. Numerous local fire departments, as well as the Pennsylvania State Police, also responded to the scene.Staff writer Zack Hoopes contributed to this report.
