MAHWAH, N.J. (AP) - July 19, 2009 Rose B. Ganim, of Northampton, Mass., was the only person on
board when the plane went down around 10:10 a.m. in Mahwah. She
sustained facial and leg lacerations and was being treated at Good
Samaritan Hospital in nearby Rockland County, N.Y.
Ganim said the Cessna 170-B single-engine, fixed-wing aircraft
developed mechanical problems before it went down in a field near
the hotel and a busy highway. No one on the ground was injured, and
she was soon pulled out by emergency crews.
State police say the plane had taken off earlier Sunday in
Westfield, Mass., and was on its way to Greenwood Lake in nearby
Passaic County.
The Federal Aviation Administration is investigating.
