According to a same-day statement from Master Trooper Christopher Casey of the North Carolina State Highway Patrol, at about 12:45 p.m., NCSHP personnel responded to the crash at the Hickory Regional Airport. Casey adds that a single-engine Cessna experienced a mechanical failure, resulting in an emergency landing on the runway. The plane was returning from Avery County after delivering supplies to mountain-area victims of Hurricane Helene’s related floods.
