They find a missing North Carolina plane in NY with three deaths – Telemundo New York (47)

NEW YORK – Authorities on Monday found the wreckage of a North Carolina plane that crashed in western New York a day earlier, killing three people on board, the Chautauqua County Sheriff’s Office said.

The plane was found near the town of Ellicott in an area between Route 380 and Route 60, around 10 a.m., the office said.

The sheriff’s office identified the deceased as Allen Fuller, Valerie Holmes and Linda Edwards. No other details have been revealed.

The crash site is approximately one mile east of Chautauqua County’s Jamestown Airport, where the plane was heading after leaving Burlington Alamance Regional Airport in North Carolina, the Federal Aviation Administration said in a statement.

The FAA and the National Transportation Safety Board will investigate.

Weather conditions may have been a factor in the plane’s disappearance. The Jamestown area was experiencing wind gusts of around 25-30 mph with light snow Sunday night.

Air traffic controllers lost contact with the plane shortly before 6 p.m. Sunday. The search for the plane stopped around 1 a.m. and resumed after dawn, authorities said.
