Small Plane Crashes In Terryville En Route To Waterbury Airport: FAA

TERRYVILLE, CT — A Federal Aviation Administration spokesperson told Patch that a single-engine Cessna 185 crashed prior to reaching Waterbury Airport in Plymouth, around 1 p.m. Tuesday.

According to FAA spokesperson Crystal Essiaw, only the pilot was on board. She noted that the information provided by the FAA is preliminary and is subject to change. She said the name and medical condition of the pilot should come from local authorities.

A call to Hose Company #1 Terryville Fire Department had a person there say they were unaware of any additional information.

The crash site was in a wooded area near off Mt. Tobe Road near Camp Mattatuck, a Boy Scouts of America camp.

And though the FAA said "only the pilot was on board," WFSB reported that "two were removed from the plane" and had "minor injuries."

The FAA and the National Transportation Safety Board will investigate, Essiaw said, adding that the NTSB will be in charge of the investigation and will provide additional updates.

According to federal records, the plane is owned by a Carson, Nevada man. Its license is valid and current. There is no information on FAA documents about the plane's airworthiness.
