Update: Police ID 1 killed after single-engine plane crash in Oneida County
REMSEN, NY - One person was killed after a single-engine passenger plane crashed earlier today at the intersection of Commons and Old Stage roads in Remsen in Oneida County, officials said.
Jonathan E. Coxwell, 74, of Remsen was pronounced dead at the scene, according to New York state police.
Police said the 1946 Luscombe plane took a sudden nose dive into a hayfield.
There were no other people on board the plane other than the pilot, said Keith Holloway, speaking for the National Transportation Safety Board.
Holloway said the investigation into the crash is continuing, and an investigator is en route to the scene. The crash occurred about 2:30 p.m. The FAA also is assisting.
No other information is available at this time.
Coxwell had bought the tiny aircraft seven months ago and he was still learning to fly this particular plane. Quite a few old people have died like that.
Jonathan Coxwell had been licensed pilot and flew for most of his life. He held a commercial license since 2009 and has owned many aircraft throughout his life. He had been licensed since 1967.
Here is his information from the FAA:
