A person has died after a plane crashed in a residential area in Saratoga, New York.
At least one person was pulled out of the wreckage by residents following the crash on Wyndham Way near the county’s airport.
One witness said the aircraft had collided with the tree as it crashed to the ground.
County Sheriff Michael Zurlo said the plane crashed within just a yard of one home, narrowly avoiding the structure and parked vehicles.
Local weather reports said the area was being battered by 50mph gusts of wind at the time of the crash.
One local told Times Union that the wind was so strong he didn’t hear the plane hitting the ground.
