NEW KENT, VA (WWBT) - State Police say one of the two people hurt in a plane crash in New Kent Friday morning, has died.
The crash happened around 11:15 a.m. Friday near Liberty Hall Road. State Police say a "small, fixed-wing, private aircraft crash landed into a field and then struck a fence."
Police say the pilot and flight instructor, 38-year-old Andrew Jones from Richmond, was flown to VCU Medical Center with life-threatening injuries.
He died from his injuries later Friday.
The student-pilot, a 67-year-old New Kent County man, was taken to a nearby hospital for minor injuries.
The NTSB and FAA are investigating the crash, along with State Police.
