PEMBROKE, N.Y. — Two people were killed Friday after a small plane crashed in western New York, authorities said.
The Federal Aviation Administration said the single-engine Socata TBM-700 crashed about 11:45 a.m. in a wooded area near Pembroke, New York.
Genesee County Sheriff William Sheron told reporters a man and a woman were killed and there were no survivors. He did not identify the victims.
Neighbours described a plane making a loud, whining noise, then dropping into a wooded area, Sheron said.
The plane was registered to a corporation that shares an address with Cellino & Barnes, a personal injury law firm with offices around New York. The firm declined to comment.
The National Transportation Safety Board said it was investigating the cause of the crash.
