A small plane crashed Wednesday night near Somerset Airport in Bedminster, investigators said.
Two people were aboard the single-engine Piper PA-28 when it crashed around 7 p.m., an FAA spokesperson told NJ Advance Media.
The spokesperson could not comment on the condition of the occupants. Local police could not immediately be reached for comment.
The plane is registered to Ameriflyers of Texas Inc., a flight training institution based out of Dallas, Texas. The institution’s website states it has a school in Morristown, but it was unclear where this plane was traveling to or from where it came.

The second week of the New Jersey High School football season is in the books and teams are establishing themselves among the state’s elite.
Don Bosco throttled Red Bank Catholic in an impressive showing in a battle of Top-10 teams a week ago, while Passaic Tech showed it belonged in the state rankings by knocking out then-No. 18 West Orange.

Gen X Retirement: 45% Face Shortfalls
Retirement is supposed to be a golden phase, but for many Gen Xers it might not be.

Financial publication WalletHub ranked nearly 180 cities to see which ones were the best places for retirees. And it seems that people might want to retire in any number of places other than New Jersey.
Jersey City and Newark were the two New Jersey cities listed in the ranking, in the 156th and 178th positions respectively. The ranking considered 45 metrics that included cost of living, tax laws, health care and availability of recreational activities. Both New Jersey cities scored particularly poorly in the benchmarks regarding affordability.
That is consistent with a previous WalletHub ranking of states, which placed the Garden State in second to last place as a retirement location, mostly because of affordability issues.
On the other hand, Florida took the cake, with Orlando and Miami ranking in the first two positions. The lack of estate, inheritance and state income tax along with a plethora of recreational activities and centers for seniors makes these two cities an ideal place for retirees, the ranking says.
Tampa, Fort Lauderdale and St. Petersburg were three other Florida cities that ranked in the top ten positions for similar reasons.
According to the ranking, both neighboring New York City and Philadelphia offer better conditions for retirees. While New York ranked as the least affordable, it scored high in the quality of life and recreation benchmarks. Philadelphia boasted a higher score in terms of affordability, recreational activities, quality of life and health care.
