ROUGEMONT, N.C. — Our Raleigh CBS affiliate WNCN reported that a small plane crashed in Orange County, killing one person, according to the Federal Aviation Administration.
A single-engine Beechcraft 35 crashed near Rougemont at 12:45 p.m.
The only person aboard the plane died in the crash around 3:08 p.m., according to the NTSB.
A second plane went down 3 hours later near the shoreline of Lake Gaston in Warren County.
The plane crashed in a residential area in the 100 block of Cedarwood Street north of Macon, said Joel Bartholomew, director of Warren County Emergency Management.
One person was seriously burned and has been flown to a hospital for treatment, according to Bartholomew.
“The probable cause of the crash and any contributing factors will be in the final report which can take 12-24 months to be completed,” the NTSB said.
