(RIP)

A small plane crashed on Thursday, killing one person on board, on a highway near the Westchester County Airport about five miles northeast of White Plains, the New York State Police said.

The single-engine plane crashed around 7 p.m. after the pilot reported engine issues, the Federal Aviation Administration and the state police said in a statement. A second person on the flight was in serious condition, Gov. Kathy Hochul of New York said.

The names of the people aboard the plane, a Tecnam P2008, were not released. It departed from Linden, N.J., just after 6 p.m., according to FlightAware, a tracking website.
