The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) stated that the single-engine Cessna 208B crashed near Youngstown, New York, close to Lake Road, just before 1 pm. The plane, affiliated with the Skydive the Falls skydiving center, had already completed skydiving activities and was returning to land when the crash occurred, as reported by the Niagara County Sheriff’s Office.

FAA spokesperson Tammy L. Jones confirmed that the pilot, the sole occupant of the plane, had been engaged in parachute operations before the crash. However, the number of skydivers on board remains unclear, as mentioned by Niagara County Sheriff Michael Filicetti during a Saturday press conference. A subsequent brush fire ignited near the crash site, requiring immediate attention from first responders to contain it.

Sheriff Filicetti characterized the incident as unfortunate and highlighted ongoing collaborative efforts between local and federal law enforcement to determine the crash’s cause. Despite efforts to save lives, he regretfully acknowledged that the outcome was tragic.
