A state police spokesman said the pilot, who suffered a medical emergency while flying the plane, is in serious condition.
The pilot of a small plane that crashed while trying to land at the Martha's Vineyard Airport over the weekend remains hospitalized, authorities said Tuesday.
According to state and local police, the pilot -- identified only as an 79-year-old man -- was having a medical episode upon approach, forcing his passenger -- a 68-year-old woman -- to take over the controls. The plane had departed from Westchester, New York, earlier on Saturday.Sign up for NECN newsletters.
