“His first contact with the ground was about 30 feet from where he stopped,” said Sawyer. Sawyer said that conditions were not extreme on Thursday. “I totally didn’t expect it,” he said.

Sawyer said he spoke with both the pilot and passenger after the crash, and they were alert and asked about the airplane and their personal possessions.

“I think they’re going to be okay. They were definitely injured, but I don’t think they were life-threatening,” said Sawyer.

Jaffrey Police Chief Chris LaBrecque said the pilot and passenger both sustained torso and head injuries. According to Fire Chief David Chamberlain, the two were able to extricate themselves, with assistance from first responders, from the plane. They were assessed on the scene by Jaffrey-Rindge Memorial Ambulance, and airlifted by Boston Medflight and UMass Medflight, which landed on the airfield. Both men were taken to UMass Memorial in Worcester.
