SPRINGFIELD — A Cedarville University student was one of the people injured after a private plane headed to Springfield crashed in Pennsylvania on Sunday.
Judah White, a sophomore, is from Manheim, Pennsylvania. He was traveling back to campus after spring break, according to a spokesperson from the university.
The small plane crashed in a parking lot of a retirement community in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, shortly after taking off from the nearby airport.
As previously reported by News Center 7, the pilot and all four passengers were hospitalized with minor injuries.
A preliminary report from the FAA reveals that the crash was an “accident” and described the flight as “personal.”
Flight records show the plane was supposed to land at Springfield Beckley Municipal Airport.
Two people have been released from the hospital, and the other three are getting treatment at a burn center, according to a previous News Center 7 report.
“Please join me in lifting up Judah, his family, and everyone involved in this accident to the Lord. We are praying for full recoveries and for God’s peace and strength to surround them,” Cedarville University President Thomas White said.
