A plane crashed into a New York home Sunday, killing one resident and one person on the aircraft and causing a massive fire, state police said.
The National Transportation Safety Board is to determine why the Cessna 303 plunged at about 4:30 pm (local time) in the rural town of Union Vale, 15 miles (24 kilometers) southeast of Poughkeepsie.
State police spokesman Steven Nevel said three men were on the plane; one died and two were injured. Of three people in the home, one died, another was seriously hurt and the third is missing.
Two golden retriever puppies and a grown Newfoundland dog escaped the flames that engulfed the house on Union Vale’s South Smith Street.
