Plane crash in Benton County

Authorities are investigating two separate plane crashes that occurred recently in Indiana and New York. In Benton County, Indiana, a plane crash southwest of Oxford led to the closure of County Road 200 East, but details regarding any injuries or casualties have not yet been confirmed. Meanwhile, in Youngstown, New York, a single-engine Cessna 208B crashed after the pilot, Melanie Georger, had dropped off skydivers; she was the sole occupant and was pronounced dead at the scene. The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) is investigating both incidents, with preliminary findings expected within 30 days for the New York crash. Additionally, a separate crash near the Youngstown-Warren Regional Airport in Ohio resulted in the deaths of all three individuals aboard a twin-engine Beechcraft 60, which was attempting an emergency landing due to suspected mechanical failure. The NTSB will also investigate this incident as authorities work to collect evidence and witness accounts.
