EAST WINDSOR, Conn. (WTNH)– The NTSB will be on scene in East Windsor after a deadly plane crash Tuesday night.
It happened near Skylark Air Park right off Wells Road. Investigators say the plane crashed about 50 yards from a driveway. It landed nose down. There is video from shortly after that crash. Investigators say when they found the plane it was mostly intact, except for damage to the front and the wings.

Police say eyewitnesses told them it looked like the plane had stalled before it went down. Investigators don’t yet know if the pilot radioed for help before the crash. Both people on board were adults but police aren’t yet releasing their names since they’re still notifying their families.
Officials expect it’ll take about two days to do a thorough investigation of the crash. The NTSB will be on the scene Wednesday to investigate.
