One person has died after a plane, used for skydiving, crashed in Niagara County, New York on Saturday, reported CNN. Following the incident, New York officials launched an investigation on Saturday.
The single-engine Cessna 208B, a plane that was used for skydiving, crashed near Lake Road near Youngstown, New York, shortly before 1 pm, the Federal Aviation Administration said in a statement.
