The Bangor Police Department confirmed that a single aircraft departing the airport was involved in the incident and first responders were still at the scene as of 10:30 p.m. local time and “expected to be actively working the site for several more hours before any additional information is available.”
A source told CNN that the extent of injuries sustained by the eight passengers was not known at the time of the report. The airport was reported to have closed Sunday night after the crash took place.
No additional details on the crash were made available as of Monday morning. A massive snowstorm had made its way through the Northeast at the time of the crash with temperatures significantly below freezing and light snow causing very low visibility in Maine.
The plane was registered to a limited liability corporation in Houston, federal records confirmed.
