WALLINGFORD, Conn. (AP) — Federal authorities say a doctor and his son were practicing touch-and-go landings when their small plane crashed in Connecticut, killing the father and seriously injuring the son.
The crash happened Monday evening on a road next to Meriden-Markham Airport in Wallingford.
Police say 56-year-old Cheshire resident Joseph Tomanelli was killed and 21-year-old Daniel Tomanelli was hospitalized with non-life-threatening injuries. Joseph Tomanelli was a primary care doctor based in Wallingford.
Authorities say a passer-by pulled Daniel Tomanelli away from the burning plane.
A National Transportation Safety Board official says the plane crashed during touch-and-go landing practice and it wasn’t immediately clear who was flying the plane.
The NTSB and Federal Aviation Administration are investigating.
