根據美國聯邦航空總署(FAA)表示,失事機種為派珀PA-28,是一架小型單引擎飛機,下午3點時正準備降落法明代爾共和國機場(Republic Airport in Farmingdale),不料卻在降落前墜毀在紐約市以東32公里處。
根據紐約沙福郡警察局長羅文(John Rowan)說詞,在飛機墜毀前,塔台人員曾收到飛機駕駛傳來的「Mayday」求救訊號,沒多久後意外便發生了。

警方隨即派出警用直升機,將兩名重傷乘客送往石溪大學醫院(Stony Brook University Hospital),美國國家運輸安全委員會(NTSB)和聯邦航空總署(FAA)將開始調查這起墜機事件,釐清事發原因。
