BERKLEY, Mass. -- Berkley firefighters and first responders were on the scene of a small plane crash at the Myricks Airport in Berkley.
The plane crashed on the tree line and was upside down. It is not known if the plane was attempting to land or if it had just taken off.
A medical helicopter was on the scene and one person was loaded into an ambulance. Injuries are unknown at this time.
BERKLEY - Authorities say a small plane has crashed in Berkley and one person has been taken by medical helicopter to Boston for treatment.
A Berkley fire department dispatcher says additional information was not immediately available because emergency officials were still at the crash scene early Monday evening.
She said the plane crashed at the Myricks airfield at about 5:15 p.m.
Television footage showed a single-engine plane that had apparently crashed into some trees at the private airfield before flipping on its nose, leaving its tail leaning against the trees. Firefighters and police officers were seen standing around the aircraft.
A medical helicopter took one person to Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston for treatment.
