A pilot and a passenger are alive after a small plane that departed from Long Island crashed into the Hudson River on Monday night while attempting to make an emergency landing.

It happened near the southbound side of the Newburgh-Beacon Bridge.

The Federal Aviation Administration says the Cessna 172 crashed into the river east of New York Stewart International Airport.

A spokesperson for Long Island MacArthur Airport in the Town of Islip confirmed to News 12 the Cessna that took off from its runways crashed in the river north of New Windsor. The spokesperson added that the two people onboard suffered injuries that were not life-threatening.

Orange County Executive Steve Neuhaus told News 12 the plane lost power and that a 911 call came in around 8:08 p.m. Neuhaus said two people were on board and were rescued from the river.

He adds that the pilot did not want to be treated.

Gov. Kathy Hochul said in an X post the pilot and passenger were treated for minor injuries.

Neuhaus also told News 12 that the plane is slowly sinking. He adds that the Coast Guard is trying to recover the plane.
