Police identify pilot who died in Prince George’s Co. plane crash
Maryland State Police identified the pilot who died in a plane crash Sunday in a neighborhood near the intersection of Good Luck Road and Auburn Avenue in New Carrollton, Maryland.
The pilot was identified Monday as Gordon Allen, 61, of the Bronx in New York.
According to authorities, the plane left the College Park Airport just minutes before crashing around 3:10 p.m.
The plane damaged the carport and attic of one home and a car on the street, Mark Brady, the county’s public information officer, said.
No one on the ground was injured. Multiple streets close to 6300 Chestnut Ave. in New Carrollton were blocked off as police and fire departments responded to the crash.
At least 18 houses in the neighborhood lost power due to the crash.
Brady said emergency crews found “bits and pieces of a small aircraft strewn across the area.”
The National Transportation Safety Board is handling the investigation into the cause of the crash.
