Single-Engine Plane Crashed in NY, Pilot Injured

A single-engine plane crashed near Buffalo, during takeoff from Royalton Airport in Gasport, New York, at about 11:30 a.m. on July 5.

The 79-year-old pilot who was the only person aboard suffered facial injuries and was airlifted to the hospital. His name has not yet been released.

The plane crashed to the right of the runway in a heavily wooded area. The emergency responders faced difficulty in saving the life of the pilot due to the woods. They had to create a path of approximately 200 yards by using a backhoe to carry the stretcher to the pilot.
