Bridgewater Twp., Pa. (WBNG Binghamton) One man was killed in a plane crash Friday night in Susquehanna County.
Emergency reports at about 7 p.m. indicated a small plane had crashed in Bridgewater Township and caught fire.
According to Pennsylvania State Police, the pilot and only person in the plane, Rodney Hunsinger, 66, of Montrose, died in the crash.
According to Action News crews on the scene, the plane crashed in a field off of Route 29, next to the Montrose Terrace Park. State police say the field runs along Spring Valley Road.
Witnesses described the moment they saw the plane crash.
"I heard a plane outside, and I just went outside and looked in the yard," said Rosie Shoemaker, of Montrose. "It was really coming down low -- I thought it hit the cement wall. A couple seconds later, all I heard was a crash."
"As soon as I got up through the field -- black smoke. Next minute, you knew it blew up," said Kevin Lee Shoemaker, of Montrose.
